October is National Dental Hygiene Month!
The Associate Degree Program in Dental Hygiene is accredited by the Commission on Dental
Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on
Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department
of Education. Upon successful completion of the five-semester program
(including one summer of study), students will be eligible to take the national written examination, and a state or regional clinical examination. Upon passing these examinations
graduates will then be qualified for employment in private dental offices,
hospitals, military dental clinics, local or state health departments, or
may transfer the A.S. in Dental Hygiene toward a Bachelor of Science
degree in Dental Hygiene.
