Texas Woman’s University has partnered with Temple College to offer a Dual Enrollment Dental Hygiene program. The program gives students the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene degree while simultaneously completing the Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene degree from the Temple College Dental Hygiene program.
