Pre-Dental Hygiene Program

This program is offered through the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford as a partner of the Education & Training Center at Pitt-Titusville (ETC). The prerequisite courses are set for the program and must be completed with the grading standards required by the School of Dental Medicine to determine acceptance into the Dental Hygiene program.

The prerequisite courses can be taken in-person this academic year at ETC. To enroll in the prerequisite courses, students must complete the application through the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Once the Pitt-Bradford Admissions staff has reviewed the application, they will contact students regarding their status and the next steps.

Once accepted into the Pre-Dental Hygiene Program, students are eligible to apply to the Dental Hygiene Program. This program has limited capacity and admission to the program requires successful completion of the academic course pre-requisites, as well as meeting the School of Dental Medicine admissions requirements, a successful personal interview, and space availability in the program. The enrollment process begins in the fall to start the program the following August.
