Pre-Optometry, A.S.
Get your start on a career helping people see the world more clearly. Optometrists diagnose vision problems, treat eye conditions, and promote long-term eye health. This program lays the groundwork for admission to a four-year program with courses in biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, and research, along with general education requirements. It aligns with the first two years of a typical four-year science degree, ensuring a smooth transfer to complete your path to optometry.
