Holland, University President Utah Valley University ______________________________________________ Ian Wilson Vice President for Academic Affairs _______________________________________________ Sam Rushforth Dean _______________________________________________ George Veit Department Chair Date: 06/21/2011 Three-Year Follow-Up Report Utah Valley University BS Completion in Dental Hygiene 21 June 2011 Program Description The Bachelor Completion Program in Dental Hygiene was approved at the State Board of Regents meeting on 1/18/2008, and first began to admit students for the Fall 2008 semester. The program is aimed at the working professionals and as such is taken on a part time basis. The programs’ 3000 and 4000 level courses are now being delivered online to better serve the students working in the field. Students who have graduated from the program, as well as those who are currently a part of it, have provided very positive feedback concerning the relevancy and knowledge gained towards their work in the office or in the community. Certain course work involves community engagement and service learning. For example, the work of one graduate helped make a nonprofit clinic financially viable; while other graduates have instituted programs in their offices, such as smoking cessation. The program objectives have been met. In response to student need, the department has started allowing second-year AAS Dental Hygiene students to take a limited number of upper-level courses, which has been well received by those involved. This action was approved by the UVU Board of Trustees on June 16, 2011.
