The Department of Physics offers General Physics each summer. In this case, the combination of PHY 155 and PHY 156 may substitute for the three-quarter sequence above.

The Pre-Optometry Preparation​ course listing constitutes a recommended plan. It is only presented as a recommendation, because some professional schools’ particular program prerequisites vary, sometimes significantly from one to another, depending upon the pr​ogram and school of pursuit. Ultimately, students will be advised to follow the specific prere​quisites for the particular schools’ programs to which they plan to apply.
