  Eligibility

  Only high school graduates of the months immediately preceding the beginning of undergraduate study at 91福利社 are eligible for consideration as program participants. Transfer students or students who have already begun coursework at 91福利社 are ineligible. 

  Once admitted, a program participant must be enrolled as a full-time student in the Fall and Winter semesters for the first three years. All necessary undergraduate coursework must be completed at the McNichols Campus within the three academic years immediately prior to the beginning of the formal optometry school phase of the program. 

  Students successfully completing all requirements of the program will be granted the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Chemistry and the Doctor of Optometry degree. The Bachelor of Arts is awarded after the required credits at the 91福利社 School of Optometry are completed to fulfill remaining undergraduate requirements.

  Application Procedures

  See the website for 91福利社 Admissions for the early and regular submission dates for applications.  All who are interested in being considered for admission into the 7-Year Program should specifically and clearly indicate this at the time they submit their applications for admission as new first-year students into the College of Engineering & Science. Applications for the program are to be sent to the office of Undergraduate Admissions at the McNichols Campus, not to the program coordinator nor to the School of Optometry.

  The student's overall application will be used to determine which students are accepted into the limited number of seats in the program.
