MS w Higienie Dentystycznej

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.

Founded in 1905, The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston was the first dental school in Texas and was a founding institution of the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. The school continues to lead dental education today as part of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

The University of Texas School of Dentistry, a part of UT Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), educates dentists, dental hygienists, and dental specialists, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and pediatric dentists. The school also offers a general practice residency and advanced education in general dentistry.
