Dental Hygiene Transfer Compact

The Three Rivers Community College Dental Hygiene Transfer Compact is designed to provide special opportunities for individuals who are seeking an Associate in Science or a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene. Three Rivers does not offer an Associate in Science Degree in Dental Hygiene. However, students wanting to earn this degree may complete pre-requisite and general education courses at Three Rivers Community College that will transfer to the University of New Haven's Dental Hygiene Program.

Three Rivers students who complete a Certificate or Associate in Science Degree in General Studies, and have followed the UNH Dental Hygiene Advising Track, are eligible for a smooth transfer into the University of New Haven's Dental Hygiene Program. The advising tools for the Certificate and Associate Degree curriculum are located here.  Upon completing the Associate in Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of New Haven, graduates will be eligible to take both the Dental Hygiene National Board Examination and the Northeast Regional Board Examination to apply for the Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) License. Licensure allows for the employment as a Dental Hygienist in the dental office setting. The program in Dental Hygiene at the University of New Haven is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.

Students enrolled in the Dental Hygiene Transfer Compact are eligible for guaranteed admission and a smooth transfer into the University of New Haven's Dental Hygiene Program.  Students will earn either a Certificate or Associate Degree in General Studies from Three Rivers Community College. Additionally, students can save time and money by attending Three Rivers before transferring to the University of New Haven.
