Sorry, no dental hygiene online…..maybe assisting…but you will have clinical skills you have to do like x-ray….
Dental hygiene is a very complicated, clinically based career. So you’d have to do that degree in person. (Tons of patient experience with deep cleanings, polishing, oral hygiene instruction, radiology, etc.) Same with assisting; you can read textbooks but you have to do the actual aspiration/instrument handling/sterilization in person.
However, both are EXCELLENT jobs and I’d recommend them if you can spare the time to go to school!
As for online degrees only, you can do business-type ones like medical coding, administrative assisting, human resources, IT stuff, etc. Good luck!
