Program Description
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene, pending approval of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, will prepare dental hygiene professionals for enhanced roles and responsibilities within the emerging profession. The curriculum is designed with several areas of concentration to introduce students to the expanding role of dental hygienists in public health and within the educational system. New upper division courses offered are in dental science, education, public health administration, communication, English, ethics, philosophy, psychology and research.
The Bachelor of Science Program allows associate degree graduates and licensed dental hygienists the opportunity to pursue an advanced degree on a part-time or full-time basis given their individual needs, previous education and experience. The degree allows graduates the opportunity to build upon their current knowledge, enhance their current professional role and advance to broader careers to meet Nevada's growing public health and education needs.
College of Southern Nevada's baccalaureate graduates will be qualified for an array of challenging career opportunities in public health, administration, teaching, research, management and related fields.
Students can be undertaken on a full-time or part-time basis with courses offered evenings at CSN's Charleston Campus in Las Vegas. A portion of the program will be available to licensed dental hygienists via distance education technology.
