Thank you, Vicki!  I would appreciate the introduction.

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.

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!
