Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene program provides an opportunity for a hygienist with an associate degree to pursue a bachelor's degree. ULM Department of Dental Hygiene strives to support and encourage continued formal dental hygiene education while creating a positive and rewarding academic environment that facilitates continued growth and enrichment of all students and faculty. This program prepares students for advanced levels of employment opportunities in areas such as research and development, dental hygiene education, public health, and the corporate world. The Bachelor of Science degree program is composed of two segments: pre-dental hygiene and professional dental hygiene. Pre-dental hygiene is comprised of four academic semesters, or the equivalent in an accredited college or university. Credits will be accepted from other pre-dental hygiene curricula upon approval of the Program Director. All applicants must have successfully completed the Dental Hygiene National Board Exam and licensure in at least one state before admission. EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
The employment of dental hygienists is expected to grow by 38 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. Ongoing research linking oral health and general health will continue to spur the demand for preventative dental services, which are often provided by dental hygienists.
