在这里学什么？

Public demand for dental services has created excellent opportunities for those interested in a career in dental hygiene.

The dental hygienist is a member of the oral health team and is responsible for a wide range of services related to the provision of oral healthcare and patient education. The entry-level Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program provides the education and training needed to become a dental hygienist. It allows you to explore not only the professional responsibilities of a clinician but also roles in research, education, public health, administration, and advocacy.

The Dental Hygiene undergraduate degree program includes classroom and laboratory work as well as hands-on experience at many specialty clinics, offering students a wide variety of patient experiences. Intraprofessional (dental students and dental hygiene students) joint courses and shared clinical care of patients further broadens the dental hygiene student learning experiences. Dental hygiene students are taught by both dental and dental hygiene faculty who are committed to preparing students to be the next “leaders and best” in the profession.

Research also plays a role within the program and involves several opportunities for students to explore topics in the areas of social and basic science.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Dental Hygiene Program is to promote optimal oral health through education, research, and service. To achieve that mission, the Dental Hygiene program will:
