The baccalaureate degree curriculum is designed to prepare dental hygienists with a background for teaching, for organization and management, for research, as well as for clinical dental hygiene. The dental hygiene associate degree curriculum is designed primarily to prepare the graduate hygienist to effectively practice as a respected member of the dental hygiene profession. The education also provides the student with knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable him or her to serve as a community resource in matters of dental disease prevention and sound dental health practices. A degree in dental hygiene without education track requires 120-121 semester hours, including 72-73 hours in the major, and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The curriculum may be completed in eight semesters and one summer term within four years. For admission to the program, students must take BIOL 131, BIOL 207/208, ENG 100, and PSY/PSYS 100. Additional required courses are COMM 145, HMD 211, SOCL 100, and CHEM 109. To complete the non-education track, student must take 12-13 hours from: CHEM 304, COMM 330, 345, 346, 348, 349, 362, 374, 440, HCA 340, 347, PH 381, 383, 384, PH 462, 464, 484, PSY 310, 350, SOCL 342, 352, 375, or 450. Goal #1 Provide an academic atmosphere conducive to the development of a high degree of scientific knowledge and clinical skill. Goal #2 Prepare dental hygienists who have a strong theoretical base in the basic and psychosocial sciences, and dental hygiene science. Goal #3 Prepare individuals who are capable of meeting the needs of society, dentistry, and dental hygiene now and in the future. Goal #4 Prepare dental hygienists who are literate, capable of problem-solving, decision making, and motivated to be life-long learners. Goal #5 Prepare dental hygienists who possess the reasoning, judgment, and leadership skills necessary to identify problems, develop solutions to problems, implement these solutions, and evaluate the effectiveness of these solutions. Goal #6 Prepare dental hygienists who can function in the increasingly complex, interdisciplinary health care system and who are able to meet the dental hygiene care needs of the elderly, culturally diverse, disadvantaged, and physically challenged. Goal #7 Prepare dental hygienists who possess the moral and ethical values requisite for the effective performance of responsibilities within dental hygiene, dentistry, and society. Goal #8 Prepare dental hygienists who are committed to contributing actively to the betterment of the profession through professional involvement and continued education.
