Optometry
Cooperative 7-year B.S./O.D. Program with SUNY College of Optometry
The SUNY New Paltz Seven Year Doctor of Optometry medical program is a dual degree program. Students are admitted as freshmen and spend their first three years at New Paltz completing requirements for a Biology major. Students must maintain a 3.3 GPA, pass the OAT (standardized admissions exam) and complete General Psychology and Statistics before they enter their first year of optometry school. This is a rigorous dual degree program and requires hard work, dedication, and determination. Application to this program is handled at the time of initial application to SUNY New Paltz. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information.
