The Dental Hygiene Program leads to an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree for students who successfully complete the course of
study.
Students are prepared to become registered dental hygienists and pass an intensive theory National Board and Clinical State Board
examination. Passing both examinations is required for licensure and employment.
The Dental Hygiene Program offers a two and three
consecutive semester Dental Hygiene course of study. The Extended Three-Year Program is targeted for the student who is academically
compromised by familial and financial obligations. By using staggered admissions, it delays entrance into the clinical component of the program
until the basic dental hygiene courses are satisfactorily underway.
Students take longer to graduate, but participate in a less intensive course of
study before they are mainstreamed into the regular program.
Approaches to the educational and professional development of the students stem from the goal to graduate competent clinicians who can
positively affect their community and the dental hygiene profession through personal, academic, intellectual and professional achievements.
Students provide preventive dental health care treatment and education at the campus Dental Hygiene Clinic.
Students provide dental hygiene care for patients of all ages under the direct guidance and supervision of licensed professional dental hygienists and dentist
