What will I learn?

Earn your bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene and qualify to work as a dental hygienist as you prepare for dental school.

You'll spend the first 21 months of this 37-month program, which takes place on our Boston campus, completing your core curriculum and dental school prerequisites. You then will move into the 16-month professional phase, where you’ll have the opportunity to work with experts during clinical experiences in our on-campus clinic and in community facilities. When you graduate, you’ll be eligible to sit for the dental hygiene licensing exam and may work as a dental hygienist to gain practical experience before starting dental school. Begin this program in the fall or spring.

Your Four-Year Journey

The core knowledge and clinical experience you gain by studying at New England’s top college for dental hygiene will provide an excellent foundation for dental school. In fact, with far more clinical expertise than many of your peers, you'll be positioned to flourish in dental school.
