Dental Hygiene Plan of Study

The sample plan of study for the Master of Science Dental Hygiene program shows the normal semesters in which courses are scheduled to be taught. However, not all courses are taught during every semester listed. Electives may only be offered when sufficient students are interested in taking the courses. 36 semester hours are required. 

The first semester for the incoming student will have two core courses (6 sch). After that, the student has flexibility in choosing the courses for their focus.  View course descriptions.
