Students enrolled in the College of Optometry may register concurrently in either the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences or the Graduate School.
Optometry - Arts and Sciences
Optometry students whose cumulative point-hour ratios are 2.00 or higher may pursue a Bachelor of Science in Vision Science degree in the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences.
This program requires dual registration without any modification of the degree requirements for either college. Students must therefore arrange their schedules to allow at least three quarters between the award of the first degree and the second. Students in this program may choose to work toward their baccalaureate degree with distinction.
Graduate School - Optometry
A student registered in the College of Optometry, and who also wishes to enroll for graduate study, may be registered concurrently in the Graduate School if the student has the proper qualifications for entrance.
A student enrolled in Graduate School - Optometry may not
count more than 15 hours of professional course work toward
the master's degree and not more than 30 quarter hours of
such work toward the Ph.D. degree. These professional courses
must be approved for graduate credit in order to be used
as credit toward a graduate degree. The College of Optometry
has an advisory committee which approves the graduate program
proposed by each candidate for admission to the dual curriculum.
