Getting accepted into any dental hygiene program
takes dedication. Dental hygiene programs often get
hundreds of applications each year. At Shoreline we
accept 24 students per year and they begin the program
every fall quarter. If you are highly motivated and
excel academically, there is a good chance you will be
accepted. However, other factors apply.
Please read the program information for selection
criteria. As faculty are selective about
accepting students who are likely to succeed, we
encourage future dental hygienists to be selective in
which college will be the best match for their
individual style and provide the education that will
help meet their individual needs. We encourage you to
browse our website and familiarize yourself with the
"style" of Shoreline Community College's Dental Hygiene
Program, students and faculty.

At Shoreline Community College, our goal is to

thinking, exhibit top-notch professionalism and possess
strong technical skills. As the field of dental hygiene
continues to evolve we encourage our students to become

current with cutting edge research and technology, and
to stay members of their professional organization. Our
program is accredited by the Commission on Dental
Accreditation and includes expanded duties allowed by
Washington State Law. The curriculum prepares graduates
to pass regional and National Board Exams as well as
become successful oral health professionals.
