Contact: Professor David Merwine
Students interested in earning a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree may apply to a college of optometry upon completing a bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Students may choose to major in any academic discipline, but most students attending optometry schools majored in biology. Each optometry school may have specific requirements, in addition to the minimum courses required by many optometry schools, so students are advised to check with the optometry schools of their choice prior to completing their bachelor’s degree.

Please be advised
Please be advised that some programs or courses of study require that students complete rotations, fieldwork, internships/externships and/or teaching assignments at facilities external to the university, while other programs or courses of study may offer voluntary internships or externships at facilities external to the university. Depending on the program or course, such facilities will or may require a criminal background check, an act 33/34 clearance (if applicable), and perhaps a drug screen to determine participant qualification or eligibility. Additionally, in order to become licensed, many states will inquire as to whether the applicant has been convicted of a misdemeanor, a felony, or a felonious or illegal act associated with alcohol and/or substance abuse.
