Dental Hygiene

Turn Smiles Into Opportunities

Dental hygienists are amongst the most in-demand professionals in the United States. An aging population, expanded access to health and dental insurance, and new research on the importance of oral health has driven this demand, and it shows no signs of slowing any time soon.

This is a degree completion program. Students must have earned, or be in the final semester, of an associate degree in dental hygiene to be considered for admission.
