Students who complete the Dental Hygiene Program at Amarillo College and pass their licensure exams are equipped to provide preventive, educational, and therapeutic services that support disease prevention and total oral health in a dental setting. Amarillo College has a superlative record of student success, which is mirrored in the program’s uninterrupted string of full and unconditional reaccreditation efforts. This includes consecutive and rare perfect scores on site visits by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). The U.S. Department of Education recognizes CODA as the sole agency to nationally accredit dental and dental related education programs conducted at the post-secondary level. The mission of AC’s Dental Hygiene Program is to provide quality technical education that leads students to academic excellence and inclusion in community service, and it does that as well as any such program in the nation.
