Pre-Dental Hygiene - AA

This program prepares students for admission into the Dental Hygiene program at Wichita State University. When at Wichita State University, the student will work toward a Bachelor in Dental Hygiene. During their 2nd fall term, students will apply in September to WSU and in November to the Dental Hygiene Program. The required courses listed must be completed by the end of the semester during which the student applies to Wichita Sate University. Additional courses which are pre-requisites for WSU but do not need to be completed prior to application are listed as block options. An advisor will help identify specific Humanities courses that may be taken for "Further Studies" in Humanities and Social Studies required at WSU.
