Upstate Program Information

 

 

The USC Upstate Pre-Optometry program is an advisement track within the biology degree program. Although optometry schools do not generally require a bachelor’s degree, very few students enter without completing one. Students already having a degree and aiming for optometry school should concentrate on taking the specific courses that will best prepare them for taking the Optometry Admission Test (OAT).

TIPS

  • Place keywords in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.
    Example: "south carolina"
  • Boolean operators (use capital letters):
    • AND - all terms must be found; narrows a search
      Example: television AND violence
    • OR - any of the terms may be found; expands a search
      Example: "mass media" OR television
    • NOT - excludes the terms
      Example: mexico NOT "new mexico"
  • Use an asterisk (*) to search for different variations or spellings of a word.
    Example: teen* - teen, teens, teenage, teenager, teenagers, etc.
