The various schools of optometry in the United States differ in their requirements. An extended (more than 60 credits) Associate in Science degree from Bismarck State College will satisfy the requirements of many optometry schools. Students with a strong background in high school science and math may complete the suggested curriculum in two years.
Applicants are selected by optometry schools based on academic ability, letters of reference from instructors, and the Optometric College Admission Test. Although no special requirements are shared by all schools of optometry, they generally want an applicant to have a good science and mathematics background. This background will also prepare the applicant for the rigors of the OAT. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 to complete this exam with an acceptable score.
It is critical that the student check the catalog of the particular school of optometry to which they plan to transfer, bring this information to their advisor, and modify this curriculum accordingly. Students may find www.opted.org to be a helpful website for those interested in a career in optometry.
