• Southeast has developed good relationships with our community’s healthcare professionals. These ongoing relationships will help you build professional contacts and will provide you with numerous opportunities to gain first-hand experience through volunteering, part-time employment, internships and shadowing. 

• An impressive 80 percent of Southeast’s graduating pre-optometry students are accepted into optometry school programs.

• Southeast’s pre-optometry advisor assists you every step of the way by providing you with information on all aspects of the optometry school admissions process, including curriculum, selection of optometry schools, preparation for the OAT (Optometry Admissions Test), preparation for the optometry school interview, and the preparation of optometry school applications. 

• The Southeast Student Medical Society gives you the opportunity to further your knowledge and explore your interests in the healthcare field through monthly programs and activities with other students and healthcare professionals. 

• Southeast students benefit from small classes and a low student-faculty ratio of 17 to 1. Our faculty members are at Southeast because they are committed to offering you the faculty involvement and interaction that can’t be found at larger, less personalized schools.  

• As a pre-optometry student, you will have the opportunity to work with faculty conducting research, thus further developing the knowledge and skills you will need to advance in your field.
