Pre-Dental Hygiene
The pre-dental hygiene program at UL Lafayette is for students who want to complete the prerequisites for a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene before transferring to earn their degree at another university.
The pre-dental hygiene program is a two-year professional program. You do not earn a degree in dental hygiene from UL Lafayette. However, we provide the instruction and skills you need to transfer into a Bachelor of Science degree program, where you can complete your clinical training.
Your advisor will work with you to identify which courses you need to take so you can transfer into the Bachelor of Science program you choose.
In Louisiana, there are Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene programs at LSU Health Science Center School of Dentistry and UL Monroe, and there are many across the country. The requirements for the program you want to transfer into will determine which courses you take at UL Lafayette.
