Coastal Bend College Dual Enrollment Dental Hygiene
Suggested Pre-Entry Curriculum
Fall 2021
Total hours for degree 120 hours. Up to 90 hours transferred from the AAS institution.
TWU: 30 hours must be taken at TWU. If a student enters into Dual Enrollment and is already core complete electives will need to be chosen and completed at TWU to achieve the 30 hours at TWU. This will vary per student. See TWU Catalog and TWU advisor to assist with current core options.
Degree conferred in August of last year if all requirements are met.
If TWU financial aid is needed, 6 hours must be taken each semester. The student may elect to other options, which would delay graduation. Student should notify TWU advisor if TWU financial aid is necessary for completion and an alternate plan would be created.
