The Bachelor of Science Dental Hygiene is a three-year program. To enroll in the Dental Hygiene program, students must complete at least one pre-professional year before admission.

The Dental Hygiene curriculum includes courses in biomedical, behavioural, and clinical sciences. In each year of the program, students participate in external practicum experiences within the city and surrounding districts in various community settings, such as hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, and community agencies/clinics. An experience in an external rural clinic is required before graduation.

The Dental Hygiene program is structured as a “lock step” program. A lock-step program is one in which the students are admitted as a cohort and take their courses together in a specified sequence (offered only once per year). Courses are offered in a sequence, whereby the knowledge, skills, and attitudes build throughout the year. Academic and practice experiences are mapped throughout the 3 years of the Dental Hygiene Program continuously, not as discrete experiences.

I graduated from uofa with an economics degree and then worked for my my family's manufacturing business. After 3 and a half years, I knew I needed help taking the company to the next level but I needed to keep working. The online MBA was the perfect solution.

After 36 months of studying part-time, I can say my business skills are beyond where I thought they would be. What I learned about leadership and operations I use every single day. I was surprised that I was also able to network and build relationships with my group even though I had the flexibility to choose a lot of my own courses as I went.

The other reason I choose the program is because of the flexible start dates. I kept putting this decision off, so when I was finally ready, I didn't have to wait another few semester to get going.

My time at the sofa has been very good so far. The instructors are almost always happy to help but there ares some instructors that don't really explain concepts well. There are also many amazing cubs to join and after school activities. Sometimes paint nights are organized or baking note, trivia nights or even games nights. They are all very welcoming and nice.
