The School was granted the status of accredited by the COE in June 1998. The next expected accreditation visit by a full committee has been scheduled for March 2005. The bilingual nature of the School of Optometry places this optometry program in a unique educational position. Most lectures and clinical care are in Spanish, while the texts, tests, and patient records are in English. Its student body represents more than 12 states and countries of the world creating an international, multi-ethnic environment.
Students are able to practice in hospitals and external clinical rotations throughout the world.
We invite students to share with us their own unique experiences.
