What Our Graduates Say

Testimonial from one of the first graduates of the AS to BS-DH Program  

“The RDH AS to BS program at Foothill College was an excellent, well-structured program that allowed me to work full time and provide for my family while advancing in my career and allowing me exponential opportunity for further success. I am so grateful for the education that I received, especially at an affordable cost. I would highly recommend this program to any RDH looking to advance their career, even if you are working full time, like I have been. There is no better time than the present.” 

– Emily Fuentes, RDH, BSDH
