North Idaho College is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), and is reporting this information in compliance with Standard 2.G.3. The Dental Hygiene program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA).
This program is designed to meet the educational requirements for dental hygienists in Idaho. If you intend to seek licensure outside of Idaho after finishing your program, use the list below to find information on the state or U.S. territory in which you intend to be licensed in order to identify whether NIC’s Dental Hygiene program meets, does not meet, or if it has not been determined if it meets the educational requirements for licensure. If NIC’s program has not determined if it meets the educational requirements for licensure in the state in question, it may meet all or a portion of the educational requirements. If that is the case, we recommend that you contact the licensing agency directly before beginning the NIC program.
