Concorde Career Colleges, a leading workforce solutions education provider, announces the launch of two new dental hygiene associate degree programs at its campuses in Illinois and Indiana. These programs bring the total number of dental hygiene programs offered by Concorde nationwide to 14. The expansion responds to the growing demand for skilled dental hygienists in these regions and builds on Concorde’s successful dental assistant programs at these campuses. With a curriculum that blends online and on-ground coursework with in-person lab instruction and clinical experience, the programs prepare students to enter the dental industry in as few as 17 months. Upon completion of foundational coursework, students will gain hands-on experience in dental hygiene clinics on each campus, providing services to the community under the supervision of faculty and licensed dentists. Concorde’s commitment to the communities it serves is evident in its investment in these new clinics, offering affordable preventive dental care to uninsured or underinsured individuals.
