Bachelor of Dental Hygiene (BDH)

OBD Bachelor of Dental Hygiene (BDH) - There are two tracks within this program, Track A and Track B. Track A is a four-year dental hygiene program which allows the student to obtain the Bachelor of Dental Hygiene degree while also receiving dental hygiene education. Track B (degree completion) is for students who have already completed an accredited program in dental hygiene and now wish to pursue a Bachelor of Dental degree. Both tracks include unique internship opportunities in specialized areas of focus, such as education, research, public health and healthcare management. Two required internships (100 hours total) must be completed and are carefully selected by the student with faculty advisement. The classes offered within these tracks are unique in that they familiarize the students with varied aspects of healthcare beyond the clinical scope of practice. Education at the baccalaureate level will create more innovative employment opportunities within the field of dentistry and dental hygiene.
