The Program
The Department of Dental
Hygiene offers both Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science degree
options. Graduation from either degree option qualifies the student to
apply for state, regional, and national examinations required for
licensure.
The professional
portion of the curriculum consists of four (4) fall/spring semesters and
one (1) summer semester. The program begins in the fall. Students
completing this phase receive an Associate of Science degree. The
majority of our recent graduates, however, have elected to pursue the
bachelor’s degree option. This requires additional general education
course work plus 11 SC of upper-division (junior/senior) course work
above and beyond the professional curriculum, and electives for a
minimum of 124 SC.
The program receives
significant support from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Central
Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS). A portion of the clinical
education occurs at the CAVHS.
Program information
sessions are offered each year at the Department office. Please call the
Department for more information.
