The College of Nursing and Allied Health Professions provides a two-year professional curriculum in dental hygiene. Although the University of Louisiana at Lafayette does not award a degree in dental hygiene, wstudents are provided with the instruction and practice needed to move forward. In the state of Louisiana, Louisiana State University Health Science Center (LSUHSC) School of Dentistry and UL Monroe offer a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program in this field.

The two-year professional curriculum is designed specifically for students who wish to complete the required coursework at UL Lafayette and then transfer to a BS degree program for clinical training. An advisor is available to assist students with course scheduling while at UL Lafayette. Students preparing to transfer to LSUHSC, UL Monroe, or out-of-state dental hygiene programs should obtain detailed admission requirements, procedures, and prerequisite information from the institution into which they plan to transfer and consult with their advisor to plan an appropriate course of study.
