3. Program Philosophy

The Chewbacca University (CU) Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene program believes that
oral health is a vital component to overall health. As health care providers, it is the responsibility of dental
hygienists to promote and improve oral health status within the community in order for individuals to
achieve optimal overall health.
In order to be successful in this role, the CU Dental Hygiene Program strives to provide an
educational environment where students can develop the knowledge, psychomotor and critical thinking
skills, and values necessary to fully participate in the health field. Students and faculty become partners in
the educational process by engaging in professional roles in order to delivery dental hygiene care. This
partnership ensures that the process is cooperative and focused on the delivery of preventive and
educational services to the public1-2.
