The mission of the New York University Department of Hygiene and Dental Assisting is to partner with students to achieve academic excellence; promote scholarly activity, health promotion, disease prevention, and research; to participate in community service; and to offer comprehensive client care, utilizing critical thinking and evidence-based decision making. As goals, the program will prepare a competent dental hygienist, maintain a contemporary dental hygiene program that reflects relevant and current dental hygiene practice, and provide an interdisciplinary integrated curriculum.
The Dental Hygiene programs at NYU Dentistry provide extraordinary clinical and academic opportunities for students interested in preventive oral healthcare and the promotion of good health. A key member of the healthcare team, the dental hygienist works together with dental professionals to meet the oral health needs of patients and thereby improve patients' quality of life.
The Department of Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting houses two degree programs, both of which prepare students for careers in dental hygiene: Bachelor of Science (BS) in Dental Hygiene and Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Dental Hygiene. Students have the option to pursue these degree programs through a number of flexible curriculum plans, including the BS four-year plan, BS Degree Completion plan, the AAS Fast Track, and the AAS Advanced Standing curriculum, among others.
In addition, the department offers a unique program as a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene with a Dental Science Concentration.
