Upon graduation, you will also be prepared to continue your education through graduate or professional programs.

The curriculum incorporates advances in technology in the oral health field and is composed of 120 hours of academic coursework to be completed in four years. The coursework that prepares you for a successful professional career also provides additional preparation in the provision of periodontal care and an internship caring for rural health special needs and geriatric populations.
