Undergraduate Degree Type(s) BS -Degree Completion
Program Description The Dental Hygiene B.S. Degree Completion program offers a bachelor of science degree for dental hygienists who have an associate degree or certificate in dental hygiene. The 100% online program allows students to pursue undergraduate study in dental hygiene while continuing to work full-time or part-time. The courses designed for distance delivery in this program are interactive, engaging and group-based. Students will be encouraged to draw upon their professional work experiences to shape their on-the-job concerns into course projects, merging both worlds in a way that benefits both themselves and their employers. An advisor will help develop an individual plan of study for each student based on the number of needed general and upper division education courses to complete the Bachelor of Science degree. This plan will vary according to the previous credits obtained by the student.
