Pre-Dental Hygiene

dental hygienist

Did you know: Dental hygienists are dedicated to your oral care.

Although 青青草app State University does not offer a dental hygiene program, but we do have a pre-dental hygiene pathway designed to help students complete the minimum requirements for most dental hygiene programs in the country.

Students should consult with College of Health Sciences Advisors so that we can help them and determine the requirements and consider the multiple options while completing the prerequisites. While not necessary, a general Associate of Science degree from 青青草app State University is recommended.

Pre-Health Advising Team

Contact an advisor by emailing HSAdvising@boisestate.edu.
