Can you get a job in the dental hygiene field through online schools?

Answer 1

You can take courses online from certain colleges. But the classes that are required for this degree, also require a lot of Lab work. So most you can not. You can take some nutrition and mathematics classes online. But for the most part you kind of have to be in class to get the experience... Plus a state college degree looks a lot better than a cheesy online college, its olbvious if you get your certificate that way that you didnt have much hands on experience. So you deside.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. There is much clinical time and constant supervision required by licensed hygienists instructors, and dentists. Especially in advanced years where students are actually working on patients. This particular program of study is very competitive, and one of the most taxing and intensive programs a student can hope to complete successfully.
