Optometric Topics and Learn a Marketable Skill!

The Optician/Technician Program is seeking part-time or full-time students for the two-year Associate of Science degree. Any student may sample optometry-related topics by taking one or more of our courses. A popular course for spring semester is TOPT-V 153 Ophthalmic Dispensing (4 credits). No authorization is necessary and there are no prerequisites. It is a very interesting class, a great way to learn a marketable skill in the optical field, and can often lead to job opportunities!
