Dental Hygiene -
Shared Program
This associate degree program prepares individuals for a career
as a Dental Hygienist. The dental hygienist is a member of the
dental team and helps individuals maintain oral health and prevent
oral diseases. Under the supervision of a dentist, the hygienist
inspects the mouth, removes stains and deposits from teeth, applies
preventative agents, prepares clinical and diagnostic tests,
completes dental x-rays, and performs many other services related to
oral care. Dental hygienists counsel patients about preventive
measures such as nutrition, oral hygiene and dental care.
Blackhawk Technical College maintains shared program agreements
with both Madison Area Technical College (MATC) and Waukesha County
Technical College (WCTC) for the Dental Hygiene Program. While
Blackhawk students attend Dental Hygiene program courses at one of
these facilities, General Education and Elective requirements (as
applicable) may be taken at BTC.
The admission and program completion requirements vary somewhat
between MATC and WCTC. Blackhawk Technical College recommends
meeting the “Program-Ready” requirements for both institutions to
assure the earliest program acceptance. Please contact the BTC
Student Services Counseling department for details related to
Program-Ready and Program Completion requirements.
