MCC is excited to welcome the first cohort of students into its new Dental Hygiene Program! Twenty women have arrived on campus to begin their studies. The program has received initial accreditation from the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), allowing the College to enroll 20 students each fall. The inaugural class is starting now, with another cohort of 20 students entering in fall of 2027. As part of the accreditation process, CODA will return in Spring 2028 to evaluate the program and observe the first graduating class as the College works toward continuing accreditation. The new Dental Sciences Education Clinic was designed to provide students with hands-on, real-world learning experiences
