About Dental Education
The Division of Dental Education has been offering high quality educational opportunities leading to careers in the dental field since 1968 and offers the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Dental Hygiene degree.
Completing a university-base BSDH program offers students a diverse range of career possibilities than are available to associate degree holders. The BSDH program at IU South Bend provides students with a variety of inter-professional education and collaboration opportunities throughout the curriculum, an extended knowledge base, and more experiential learning opportunities within and outside of the clinical setting.
Undergraduate Degree Offered
The Division of Dental Education offers two educational pathways for a student to earn a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene degree. The appropriate option for interested students depends on your experience as a dental hygienist.
The options include:
- Entry-level Pathway | This degree pathway is for students who want to become a licensed dental hygienist and have never completed a CODA accredited dental hygiene clinical program.
- RDH-to-BSDH Completion Pathway | This degree pathway is for students who are licensed dental hygienists who already graduated from a CODA accredited dental hygiene program and wish to expand their career opportunities by continuing their education to earn the baccalaureate degree.
