Overview
Currently, the program is approved through the Minnesota Board of Dentistry.
In the fall of 2016, the Dental Therapy program at University of Minnesota evolved into a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene/Master of Dental Therapy dual degree program to better meet the needs of oral health care providers and patients in the state. Students are eligible to apply to the dual-licensed dental hygiene/therapy program after completing the 8 prerequisite courses.
The program is year round, 32 months or about 3 years. This program reduces the educational cost to students and also reduces the length of time to earn both degrees from 6 to 4 ½ years. Dual-licensed dental hygienists/therapists provide flexibility in meeting the preventative and restorative needs of the communities they serve.
