Course Overview

The BS/OD program is for the academically outstanding student with strong, realistic motivation toward the optometric profession. Initial study at the University of Hartford allows you to complete the general education and basic science requirements for the BS in health science degree and the prerequisites necessary for professional study.

The BS degree is awarded by the University of Hartford following the successful completion of the first year of graduate study. Students who are not in the accelerated program typically complete the BS degree in four years at the University of Hartford.

The optometry program requires four years of combined academic and clinical training leading to the OD degree, which is a prerequisite for licensure eligibility in the United States. The New England College of Optometry provides students with an accredited four-year professional optometry curriculum.

General Eligibility

The combined program is for the academically outstanding student with a strong, realistic motivation toward the optometric profession. Applicants must excel academically and may be interviewed by representatives from both institutions. Up to five students are accepted annually by the New England College of Optometry. Students admitted into the program are expected to maintain a 3.4 overall minimum grade point average during their matriculation at the University of Hartford, with a minimum grade of C in all required courses. Final admission to the New England College of Optometry is contingent upon successful completion of required program course work, satisfactory Optometry Admission Test (OAT) scores, the recommendation of the University of Hartford’s Premedical Professions Advisory Committee, and completion of a satisfactory interview with NECO admissions officials.
