Registered Dental Hygienists are credentialed and licensed health professionals who serve integral roles in the delivery of oral health care. The Augusta University Dental Hygiene program, established in 1967, has a long-standing tradition of excellence and maintains full accreditation through adherence to rigorous educational and technical standards. Graduates consistently achieve high pass rates on both national written and clinical board examinations.
The program prepares students to provide preventive, therapeutic, and educational dental health services in support of overall health. Graduates are employed in private dental practices, specialty clinics, public health agencies, and government settings, with strong demand in rural and underserved areas. Dental hygienists must be licensed in each state where they practice, which typically requires graduation from an accredited program and successful completion of national and clinical board exams.

The Graduate Program and the Oral Biology program of the Dental College offer a Oral Biology & Maxillofacial Pathology Dual Degree. The combined MS/DMD and PhD/DMD programs require admission to the Dental College of Georgia as a dental student. At the end of the second year of dental school, the student begins a course of study working toward the graduate degree requirements. The student then re-enters the dental school to complete the DMD degree requirements.
The Concurrent DMD-MBA Degree Program allows students to be dually enrolled in both DMD and MBA courses simultaneously.

Students must complete at least two semesters of the DMD program before enrolling into concurrent MBA coursework.
