As a dental hygienist, you have the power to influence patients’ oral and overall health – and make them smile with confidence. In this program, you’ll build on your previous associate’s degree to advance to a master’s degree, without first earning your bachelor’s degree.
The nation’s first and only bridge program is offered entirely online on a part-time basis for working hygienists who wish to advance their education and their careers. When you graduate, you’ll hold a master’s degree in Dental Hygiene and be well prepared to move forward as an educator, administrator or researcher.
Attendance at an in-person orientation on the Boston campus is required for all new students prior to Fall enrollment. |
