The curriculum committee, composed of faculty, student affairs and student representation, has made changes to the third-year curriculum that will be implemented in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019.
First, Optometry 7210 will be moving from the spring semester to the autumn. The name of this course is changing to Managing Optometric Healthcare Practice Operations to better reflect the content of the course. This course will remain a three credit hour course, however, two hours will be in-person, and one hour will be taught online.
Second, Optometry 6240, Third Party Payment Plans, will be move to the spring semester.
Finally, Vision Science 7620 – Public Health & Environmental Vision, will become an online/in-person hybrid course with two hours per week in online material and one hour in-person that will be used for guest speakers and exams.
We know these changes will improve the curricular design and the student experience here at the college.
