The areas of speech-language pathology and audiology are concerned with basic communicative behavior. Included in these areas are studies of the systems underlying the normal communicative process (speech science, hearing science, phonetics, acoustics and anatomy and physiology); development of speech, hearing, and language functions; deviations from the normal communicative process (speech-language pathology and audiology); and assessment and management of communication disorders. The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf offers a four-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Speech Pathology and Audiology and Bachelor of Science in Educational Interpreting. The Department also offers an Associate of Science degree in Sign Language Studies. A Master of Science degree is offered in Speech-Language Pathology or Deaf Education. The Master of Science degree program in Speech-Language Pathology is offered at both the Pocatello and Boise campuses of Idaho State University.A clinical doctorate (AuD) degree in Audiology is also offered. (See the Graduate School section for admission and degree requirements.)
The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf has agreements with Albertson College of Idaho, Boise State University and Northwest Nazarene University for undergraduate students in Boise. Under these agreements students complete their general education requirements at one of these institutions before transferring to Idaho State University to complete their undergraduate degree program at the ISU Boise Center. Students interested in these cooperative degree programs should check with the preprofessional advisor on the Idaho State University Boise campus.
In addition to the undergraduate degree program in speech pathology and audiology, the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf offers an Associate of Science degree in Sign Language Studies and a Bachelor of Science degree in Educational Interpreting. The Sign Language Studies degree emphasizes American Sign Language skills and is primarily designed for students who wish to continue their education beyond the associate degree level in the Educational Interpreting program or for the student who wishes to complete an interim degree to go into a different major. The Educational Interpreter degree program is designed to prepare students for employment opportunities as interpreters in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educational settings. The Bachelor's degree program is also offered in Boise in summers.
The combined bachelor’s and master’s programs in speech-language pathology, and the combined bachelor’s and clinical doctorate program in audiology are designed to prepare students to meet the academic and clinical requirements for the Idaho Department of Education Certificate for Speech-Language Pathologist or Audiologist, state licensing, and the Certificate of Clinical Competence as issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). The Department offers an undergraduate clinical or non-clinical track of study. Students planning to pursue graduate study in the field are strongly recommended to follow the clinical track. In addition, all the academic requirements of the Council on the Education of the Deaf (CED) are available. The speech-language pathology and audiology programs are both accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). The deaf education graduate curriculum meets the requirements for training in the State of Idaho and through reciprocal agreement with most states. Undergraduate students who are interested in the Deaf Education program should contact the College of Education for further information. Students interested in the Sign Language Studies or Educational Interpreting programs should contact an advisor in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf.

As licensed professional oral health clinicians and educators, dental hygienists practice as members of the dental team, using knowledge of biomedical, dental, clinical and social sciences to assist individuals and groups in achieving and maintaining optimum oral health. The hygienist provides preventive services, preliminary examinations, radiographs, sealants, nonsurgical periodontal therapy, fluoride treatments, and patient education. Depending upon individual state laws, the role of the hygienist has broadened to include procedures that are beyond this traditional scope of responsibility such as the administration of local anesthesia and nitrous oxide analgesia, and/or certain restorative procedures. As a specialist, the dental hygienist is an integral co-therapist in helping consumers prevent oral disease, arrest existing periodontal (gum) disease, and maintain oral health.
Philosophy, Mission and Goals
The fundamental philosophy of the Idaho State University Department of Dental Hygiene is threefold. First, its members are committed to excellence in all academic endeavors. Second, the program is progressive in instituting ongoing change to prepare for the future of dental hygiene. The program also places priority on basing these changes on evaluation findings while maintaining essential traditional values. Third, as a component of the university’s primary emphasis area, the program serves statewide and regional needs by providing access to quality education in the discipline as well as meeting the employment demands and oral health needs of the public.
The primary mission of the Idaho State University Dental Hygiene program is to:
• facilitate the development of dental hygienists who are able to fulfill the multiple roles of professional dental hygienists;
• award baccalaureate degrees in the discipline with a vision toward granting graduate degrees;
• contribute to the science of dental hygiene and the advancement of related knowledge through applied qualitative and quantitative research;
• promote the health and well being of the public by providing clinical dental hygiene care and community service;
• participate as an integral, active, and contributing entity of the institution through university service.
Pursuant to the broad philosophy and mission statement, the Department of Dental Hygiene seeks to positively impact the education of its students and the delivery of dental hygiene services to the public by fulfilling the following interrelated goals:
Goal 1. To comprehensively prepare dental hygiene graduates who possess the knowledge, values, ethics, and skills to provide optimal dental hygiene care through demonstrated competence as defined by the "Department of Dental Hygiene Competency Document."
Goal 2. To offer a baccalaureate dental hygiene program sufficient in scope and depth to prepare graduates with a broad general education and high quality professional education that fosters their ability to adapt to the future, provide leadership in dental hygiene, and enroll in graduate level education.
Goal 3. To create knowledge through faculty research programs that are of sufficient depth to contribute to the art and science of dental hygiene, to dental hygiene practice and to the delivery of improved health care in Idaho and the nation.
Goal 4. To foster professional behaviors consistent with legal and ethical expectations essential to the dental hygiene profession and the public through professional activities, continuing education programs, and community service.
Goal 5. To remain responsive to program expansion according to the needs of Idaho and the western region of the United States, as well as to the future of the dental hygiene profession.
Goal 6. To operate and maintain the on-campus clinical facility to provide quality oral health care while fulfilling the program’s educational mission.Program Description
The Department of Dental Hygiene awards a Bachelor of Science degree. Students apply to the professional curriculum after completing prerequisite courses in science and general education. The professional program is two years in length. Prerequisites can be completed at the institution of the student’s choice. The Department of Dental Hygiene has formal articulation agreements with every college/university in Idaho.
The program is designed to foster student growth, promote development of critical and ethical judgment, and encourage life-long learning. The curriculum includes didactic, laboratory and clinical instruction sufficient to graduate competent clinicians who are capable of practicing contemporary dental hygiene procedures. Students are educated to clinical competency in both traditional and advanced procedures, with emphasis placed on preventive, therapeutic, and non-surgical services essential for providing total patient care to the public. As a result, graduates possess an increased understanding of dentistry and dental hygiene, expanded capabilities as members of the oral health team, and greater career mobility. Graduates of the ISU dental hygiene program are also prepared to pursue graduate studies in dental hygiene or related areas. The dental hygiene program is fully accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation.
Employment Opportunities
Upon completion of the dental hygiene curriculum, graduates are qualified to take the Dental Hygiene National Board Examination and licensure exams in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada and abroad. Graduates are eligible for positions in private dental offices, public health programs, school health programs, dental hygiene education and research. In addition, the dental hygiene program provides instruction and experience in advanced procedures to broaden capabilities for clinical practice.
Admission
Formal application for admission to the dental hygiene program must be submitted before January 15 of the year the student wishes to enter. Applicants must have completed prerequisite courses and completed specific requirements for consideration. Application materials must be forwarded to the Department of Dental Hygiene. Applications for the dental hygiene program and information regarding current admission criteria and procedures can be obtained from the Dental Hygiene website at http://www.isu.edu/departments/dentalhy, or directly from the department. Admission to Idaho State University is a separate procedure and must be completed simultaneously with application to the dental hygiene program. Students must provide verification of current CPR certification prior to beginning the junior year. An annual update is required prior to the senior year.
Academic Standards

Department of Dental Science
Chair and Associate Professor: (vacant)
Adjunct Faculty: Hiller, Nielsen, Pedersen
The Department of Dental Science administers the Idaho Dental Education Program (IDEP) for predoctoral dental students, and the Idaho Advanced General Dentistry Residency (IAGD) as a postdoctoral program.
The Idaho Dental Education Program is designed to provide residents of Idaho with access to a high quality dental education as if Idaho had its own dental school. The IDEP program is fully accredited as a Satellite Program of Creighton University School of Dentistry by the American Dental Association. The program involves a first year curriculum at Idaho State University in Pocatello, followed by completion of the second through fourth years at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. Students completing the four year program receive the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree and are eligible to take the licensure examinations necessary to become a practicing dentist. Students may also elect to pursue advanced training through residencies or specialty programs, eventually becoming board certified in one of the recognized dental specialties.
There are eight positions available for Idaho residents. Applicants to the program must have completed the necessary prerequisites in English, Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and other requirements as outlined in the Department of Dental Science Bulletin. In addition to fulfilling the minimal prerequisites most students accepted into the program will have a bachelor's degree at the time of entry into IDEP. Occasionally, some exceptional students who have completed the junior level (upper division) of college course work are admitted into the program.
Students are encouraged to work closely with their pre-dental academic advisor in making course selections which fulfill dental school and degree completion requirements.
Formal application for admission to the IDEP program follows the guidelines printed in the Department of Dental Science Bulletin and the Creighton University School of Dentistry Bulletin. The application process involves: taking the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT), completion of the American Dental Education Association Application Service centralized application, the Creighton Supplemental Application and the IDEP Residency Certification Form. Although the application process can be completed as late as January 1 of the year the student plans to enter the program, earlier application is strongly encouraged to allow adequate time for completion of admission requirements and consideration by the admissions committee.
