Thank you for your inquiry in the Northern Virginia Community College/Germanna Community College Joint Venture Dental Hygiene Program.
This program is an expansion of the Northern Virginia Community College Dental Hygiene Program located in Springfield, Virginia.

The curriculum is designed to prepare selected students to serve in a dynamic and growing health profession as valuable members of the Dental Health team. The Program is also designed to accommodate those students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete the baccalaureate degree in a health-related field.
