Dental Hygiene Degree Completion. About the Dental Hygiene Program Our online dental hygiene degree completion program offers you additional education in your profession, advancement or new options in your career, and the bachelor's degree required for entry into master's degree programs. Program Goals and our Commitment to our Students Provide a quality bachelor degree completion program that recognizes the achievement of passing the dental hygiene national board exam and state or regional clinical exams.
Recognize the growth in career opportunities and provide core courses to expose students to business management, education, public health, and evidence-based decision making. Help students plan a course schedule that ensures academic success by factoring in professional and personal commitments. Allow students to explore further areas of interest by offering elective choices. Prepare students for graduate-level courses.
Build positive relationships between core dental hygiene faculty and students to mentor and help students achieve degree goals. Who is Eligible? The 4-credit capstone practicum offers students the opportunity to work with other agencies and professionals.
Examples of capstone projects include designing a course for a two-year dental hygiene program and developing and presenting oral health materials for non-oral health professionals. Students enrolling in the online completion program can transfer in up to 90 credits, saving time from having to retake courses.
You have a lot more options available to you building on your clinical dental hygiene experience. Also hear from two graduates on how the 7-week courses, in the MPath online accelerated format, helped them stay focused and engaged and allowed them to still hold full time jobs. They share how the curriculum has improved their chance for a career as a dental therapist and built their confidence in communication, leadership, and problem-solving.
One course teaches students how to develop programs for people who have minimal access to care, such as a safety net clinic. I know that by continuing my education, I am setting myself up for a better future.
I will increase the potential for new career opportunities and prevent career burnout. The seven-week long courses, while challenging, are allowing me to get done with my BS quicker than the traditional week courses. Working full-time does not allow for a ton of time outside of work to do school, so I like that I am able to take fewer classes at a time and focus on them while still being able to work. I like that each course is seven weeks long and online. I can stay engaged and focus on assignments around my busy lifestyle.
