Thank you so much for your interest in our dental hygiene program. We offer a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene.

■ Our program is accredited by the ADA’s Joint Commission on Dental Accreditation and is a 2+2, which means that it requires that 2 years of general college requirements (60 hours) be completed at a college or university and the final 2 years would be completed in our dental hygiene program.

■ We do not require interviews for the admissions process. However, I would encourage you to visit our department on days that we have clinics in session to shadow or observe our students in action. You may call the department and arrange a time to shadow in our clinics.

■ The application deadline is April 1. Classes begin each Fall (August) semester only. Please visit the Dental Hygiene Admissions Information to obtain the most current program information.

■ To apply to the Dental Hygiene Bachelor of Science program you may submit an online application form. Click Apply Online Now at bottom of the page to begin the 2008-2009 application process.
