Located in NW Washington, DC

The Program of Dental Hygiene was established in the College of Dentistry in 1934, and graduated its first class in 1935. In 1947, educational requirements extended the curriculum to a two-year course of study. The program awards a Certificate in Dental Hygiene and is approved by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Graduates are eligible to apply for licensure in all states and the District of

Columbia as well as foreign countries. The Dental Hygiene Program recognizes the need for evidence-based paradigm shifts to address ongoing advancements in oral health care and changes in education technology. In the future, the division plans to offer the baccalaureate degree and a baccalaureate degree completion program. Curricula will be offered both full and part-time; evening courses available; and distance learning options will be initiated. In addition, the program will broaden its curriculum base by increasing its interdisciplinary focus.
