Course Overview

Nobody deserves to see life in a fog. So, lay the groundwork you’ll need to eventually correct vision challenges or diagnose ocular diseases. Now is the time to learn about the patterns and behaviors of eyes and the muscles behind them.

With extensive academic training and real-time networking opportunities, you’ll gain a full grasp of where your interests lie. This early exposure allows you to hit the ground running with your particular passion when you enter professional school. Plus, you may have the opportunity to be nominated for prestigious Ward Scholarships and Ward Research Fellowships, or earn one of our Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) scholarships. 

And you probably have more platforms than you’d expect to use your skills — governmental agencies, private practices, consulting firms, doctor’s offices and more. With this flexibility, you’re sure to establish a versatile career wherever you may land.
