Description

The Fones School of Dental Hygiene, established in 1949 at the University of Bridgeport, was named for Dr. Alfred Civilion Fones, the dentist who was instrumental in creating the profession of dental hygiene in 1913. Accredited since the American Dental Association publication of September, 1953, the Fones program is in full accord with the principles established by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Post-Secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. The graduate is eligible for National, Regional, and State examinations in each of the fifty United States, and students earning the Associate’s degree may apply their credits towards a Bachelor’s degree.

Accreditation

The A.S., B.S., and M.S.D.H. degree programs in Dental Hygiene are both licensed and accredited by the State of Connecticut Office of Higher Education.
