Dental Hygiene

About the Program

 

The Dental Hygiene Program at 17勛圖, established in 1964, is recognized statewide for producing educated and highly qualified dental hygienists. From 1964 to 2017, the program awarded an Associate of Science degree in Dental Hygiene.

In 2016, the program transitioned to a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene, with the Class of 2018 becoming the first graduates. This two-year program prepares students to excel in the National Board Dental Hygiene Exam and Regional Board Exams for Licensure as Registered Dental Hygienists. See the table below for pass rates.

In spring 2018, the program launched its fully online Bachelor of Science degree Completion Track, with the first graduates completing the program in spring 2019. This track enables licensed dental hygienists to advance their education while working, opening pathways to careers in education, corporate/industry roles, research, and public health.
