Dr. Rubin’s B.A.(B.S.)/OD Program List

To further help you on your journey to Dental School, I have created the following list of programs for your reference. This list is accurate as of August 2023. These programs are listed alphabetically by Optometry School Name - not college name. These programs are for high school students - not college students. 

Optometrists are health care professionals who typically provide comprehensive primary eye care. They typically refract eyes and prescribe corrective treatment. Their scope of practice is defined by state law and may include prescription of corrective glasses o, contacts, medications, minor surgery of the eyelids and laser surgery of the eye.

There are 23 Colleges of Optometry in the US. Most require a bachelor's degree to be enrolled. Many will accept students with 3 years of college as long as the student has met the prerequisites before attending. These colleges allow you to apply as a college junior and some will award you a bachelor degree when you complete your first year. Here is my list of schools that allow students to apply from high school. Each school name is linked to their school website. Click on a school to learn more about their program.

Good Luck with your search,

Dr. Rubin
