Pre-Dental Hygiene
Preparation for Dental Hygiene School
What should I major in if I want to become a dental
hygienist? With your advisor’s assistance you can design a program
that meets the requirements to enter dental hygienist school.
Students who have developed excellent writing and speaking skills, possess
analytic and synthetic thinking ability, life-long learners who are
enthusiastic, and understand the interpersonal aspects of medicine are they type
of students most dental hygiene schools seek.
Undergraduate Preparation
The “pre-dental hygiene”
suggested plan is a beginning point for students.
There are certain criteria that must be fulfilled for admittance to dental
hygiene school.
You and your academic advisor will need to examine your interests, your academic
record and the requirements to determine the best academic path for you.
Early in your academic career you will need to research
some of the dental hygiene schools you are interested in attending in order to
insure you will meet all their criteria for admission.
