LWTech has a BAS in Dental Hygiene program that is 8 quarters in length. I'd be happy to connect you with the Associate Dean who oversees the program if you'd like more information from her.

Subject: [BLC] [SPAM] Dental Hygiene BAS

Greetings All!

Our Allied Health Team presented a new program concept paper to our internal review committee last night.  A BAS in Dental Hygiene was discussed.  Given the industry regulations/best practices from the external accrediting body, it seems a 2+2 program would not support the needs of students.  Rather, a 4-year degree with no "stop out" period is preferred.

One of the members of our team seemed to remember a variance of some sort granted to another college in the system for a similar program.  Does anyone know this history of such requests (4-year degrees rather than 2+2 programs)?  We are curious about what sort of approval process might exist for this request and where we can learn more.

Thank you for your help!
