Optometry Transfer Major
Program Description: Students desiring to pursue an optometry degree should have a strong interest in science and have excellent communication skills. In the United States a prospective optometrist must complete a four-year course of study, including a year internship, at a school that offers the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree. A state licensing examination must then be passed before the optometrist can begin practice.
The following schedule is a guide to obtain an Associate of Arts Degree from Iowa Central Community College. Additional developmental courses may be required before you can take a college-level English or Math course. Check with transfer institutions on specific requirements.
