General Information

The School of Nursing offers programs to prepare students for careers in nursing and dental hygiene primarily for the state of Hawai'i and the Pacific Basin. 

The Department of Nursing offers programs leading to the bachelor of science, master of science and PhD in nursing degrees and a post-master's certificate in nursing. The undergraduate nursing program provides two options: (a) the bachelor of science degree pathway, which admits students in the sophomore year in nursing, following completion of a minimum of 40 credit hours of the General Education Core requirements and nursing prerequisite courses in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, and (b) the RN to BS pathway, which allows entry after completion of the AS degree or diploma in nursing.

The program leading to the master of science in nursing degree prepares the student for advanced practice nursing or clinical systems management. The program leading to the PhD in nursing prepares visionary scholars who are capable of conducting culturally appropriate clinical scholarship and teaching in nursing educational programs.

The Academic Program

Dental hygiene (DH) is the study of the integrated services rendered to patients by a licensed dental hygienist. Students majoring in dental hygiene can become licensed professionals who offer preventive, educational, and therapeutic services for the control of oral diseases and the promotion of optimum oral health.

The dental hygiene program at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa is the only one in the state. It offers the educational preparation required by dental hygienists to provide oral health care and education to the people of Hawai'i, the continental United States, and the Pacific.

Students completing the bachelor of science in dental hygiene qualify for admission to the national and state board dental hygiene examinations for licensure to practice dental hygiene under the supervision of dentists in dental offices and in public health and other dental hygiene settings.

The bachelor of science in dental hygiene maximizes the opportunity for students to continue their education. It offers professional training to broaden and deepen knowledge and skills, as well as a foundation for personal and professional development and opportunities for admission to graduate work.

Accreditation

The dental hygiene program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, American Dental Association.

Advising

Students interested in the dental hygiene program are encouraged to arrange a counseling session with dental hygiene faculty members.
