Overview

The Western New England University Pre-optometry program is a stepping-stone to becoming a valued caregiver in the field of optometry. This three-year program provides an opportunity for qualified students to prepare for admission to the Doctor of Optometry degree program at the New England College of Optometry (NECO). After a successful admission to NECO, students will have the opportunity to be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences from Western New England and a Doctor of Optometry degree from the New England College of Optometry under WNE's 3+4 articulation agreement. In the Pre-optometry program, students will take courses in General Chemistry and Biology, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and especially Physics, as well as courses in the general liberal arts curriculum. With a strong emphasis on lab work, they will have access to the modern labs and equipment of the Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy.
