Master of Science for Dental Hygiene Educators
The intent of this two-year program is to train dental hygienists to teach relevant basic and applied science courses (e.g., oral histology, oral pathology) in dental hygiene programs. Completion of the required courses normally takes 7 quarters.
Requirements
The basic program calls for advanced course work in oral sciences as well as the improvement and extension of clinical knowledge. In addition, students will take courses in educational methods, guidance techniques, and/or community college administration. The program requires a minimum of 70 credit hours. Students have the option of carrying out individual research projects, but a thesis is not required. A teaching internship may be arranged.
Clinical opportunities may be available in the DECOD (Dental Education in Care of Persons with Disabilities) and the Dental Fears Clinics.
