The Dental Hygiene Program at The Ohio State University offers the only baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene in the state of Ohio. Students have a unique opportunity to prepare for an exciting profession while also completing a baccalaureate program at a nationally recognized university.
  
In addition to preparation for licensure in dental hygiene, the baccalaureate program prepares students for additional roles of leadership and responsibility in a variety of health care settings.
  
There are two tracks leading to the degree Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. The traditional track includes basic sciences and general education courses followed by the professional training required to prepare students for licensure as dental hygienists. Information about this track is provided under Entry Level Dental Hygiene Program.
  
In addition, The Ohio State University offers a Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program for graduates of an ADA accredited dental hygiene program who wish to complete the baccalaureate degree. For more information, go to Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program.
