Upon formally being admitted to IU South Bend, a separate

bottom of page) should be completed and returned to the Programs in
Dental Education office along with the supporting documents by
February 1. If a student is enrolled for the spring semester,
a transcript of work completed must be sent to the Programs in
Dental Education Office at the end of the semester. Acceptance
cannot be granted until this is received. The 29 hours of
prerequisites must be completed before entrance into the program.
Career Information
Dental Hygiene is one of the fastest growing health care careers
today. The Dental Hygiene profession offers flexibility,
expanding employment opportunities, and very competitive salaries.
The future of health care will likely increase employment
opportunities for Dental Hygienists. It is an exciting time to
be in this field.
Most of our graduates work as Dental Hygienists in general and
specialty dental offices. A number of students go on to earn a
baccalaureate degree and begin related careers in Dental Hygiene
education, dental sales, or dental product consulting. Others
go on to Dental School to become Dentists. Nearly all IU South
Bend graduates find either full-time or part-time jobs locally.
However, we have graduates throughout the United States and
internationally.
Programs are subject to change. Refer to academic
bulletin or consults with an advisor for appropriate counseling.
Other courses and options may be available.
