Dental Hygiene: Entry Level, Bachelor of Science
You can study to be a dental hygienist during the final two years of your undergraduate studies. Dental hygiene is a licensed profession, which requires successful completion of the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination, the Western Regional Examining Board (WREB) and a state Jurisprudence Examination.
The National Board Dental Hygiene Examination, offered several times during the year, including spring semester, is a comprehensive written examination covering dental and dental hygiene sciences, theoretical aspects of patient care and principles of dental hygiene therapy. The WREB is offered shortly before graduation and requires a practical demonstration of clinical competence.
