Dalhousie College introduced Tuesday that it’ll provide a brand new Bachelor of Dental Hygiene Honours program, with courses starting in September 2025.
The college’s present Diploma in Dental Hygiene will probably be renamed the Bachelor of Dental Hygiene, whereas the present Bachelor of Dental Hygiene will grow to be the Bachelor of Dental Hygiene Honours. “Aside from the names, nothing else will change,” the college mentioned in its announcement.
“The size of the packages, tuition, and the best way the packages are delivered will stay the identical,” it added.
The adjustments comply with approval from the Maritime Provinces Greater Training Fee, which endorsed the School of Dentistry’s proposal on Jan. 21 in Fredericton.
Dalhousie introduced the replace at some point earlier than the Feb. 12 utility deadline for the 2025-26 tutorial yr.
At present, Canada has 5 undergraduate dental hygiene packages: The College of Alberta, College of British Columbia, Dalhousie College, the College of Manitoba and George Brown School.
