    I too would like to know more about this distance learning program.
    The link that David posted is only relevant to people who are already hygienists. What about the people that would like to become one. I for one have a H.S diploma and DEC in Social Sciences (graduated in 2001). Please send me some more info.
    Thanks

    Hi all,

    If you’re not already a dental hygienist, or if you’re not about to become one soon, then you need to apply to the Entry to Practice Option of the Dental Hygiene Degree Program. More information can be found here: http://www.dentistry.ubc.ca/Education/Hygiene/EntryToPractice/Admission.asp

    While some of the Entry to Practice Option courses are online, the vast majority of the degree is conducted in person at the UBC Vancouver Campus. Many of the clinical courses that non-dental hygienists require are impossible to teach online. Therefore there is no way to earn your degree via distance education if you’re not already a dental hygienist.

    Feel free to contact me directly via my new e-mail address at: dhygadm[at]dentistry.ubc.ca

    Is this program still available for online? I am very interested in complete this program and really like the idea that it’s online and at your own pace. As I am currently a stay at home mom and live in Victoria! If someone could pass on the brochure information that’d be great or even contact me via my email address?? Thanks!

    Hello

    I am a practicing dental hygienist in quebec since may 2000. I am very interested in starting the dental hygiene bachelors program in sept 2017.

    I started the registeration process on-line but at the end there was a message saying it is closed for registration.

    I have left several telephone and e-mail to the department for info if it is possible to register or when I could do so.

    I am looking forward to starting my studies on-line soon as possible.

    I feel that my years of experience and passion for the dental field will definitely assist me in achieving my long term goal to continue my education in which my clients will definitely benefit from.

    Good evening,
    I am currently a RDH and would like to do my online degree in dental hygiene, however the website always seems to say that they are not currently accepting applications for category 2. What does this mean? Why can I not apply?
    Thank you,
    Cathy
