Program eligibility requirements
Metropolitan State University’s Dental Hygiene program is a degree completion program. Students admitted to our program are licensed dental hygienists or enrolled in an Associate of Science program leading to dental hygiene licensure through one of our community college partners. Admission is rolling and admitted students may enroll in courses in the next available term. Admitted students work closely with their academic advisor to meet university and major graduation requirements.
A clinical component is not essential to BSDH program completion.
