Introduction
UTHealth School of Dentistry at Houston offers a new master of science degree in dental hygiene (MSDH), opening new doors for those who already have a bachelor’s degree, even in another field. A master’s degree gives a dental hygienist the education and credentials to direct a dental hygiene program or assume other administrative roles. It broadens opportunities to work in sales or oral health research.
The new MSDH program will require 33 semester credit hours of upper-level courses focusing on dental hygiene education. Coursework may be taken full- or part-time but must be completed within five years.
