Optometry requires a minimum of six years of study. Two years of pre-optometry studies are followed by four years at a professional optometry school. Satisfactory completion of pre-optometry requirements does not provide a guarantee of admission, since this is a very competitive field of study.

Additional credits in the humanities/social sciences are required for a degree. Contact the transfer institution for specific requirements.
