The New England College of Optometry provides individual course offerings to students who have completed a minimum of 2 years of undergraduate study, who are interested in taking classes in the anatomy, physiology, optics, and pathology of the eye, as well as certain core basic biomedical and vision science courses.

Application process:

In order to register for one or more of these courses (a list of which is found below), individuals must submit a letter of application that clearly explains why they are interested in taking the courses in question. The applicant must also submit an up-to-date College and, if relevant, graduate school transcript. All materials should be submitted to our Director of Admissions (farrat@neco.edu). Based on these materials, the Director of Admissions together with the members of the Admissions Committee will evaluate whether the applicant is qualified to take the courses for which he/she is applying, and will notify the applicant of their decision. Acceptance into any given course is subject to availability and in no way obligates the College to admit these individuals into any of our matriculation programs, regardless of how well they may do in their coursework.

Fees:

There is no application fee. Course fees average $850 for the first credit hour, and $650 for each additional credit hour; lab fees, where applicable, are extra. Thus, a typical 6.5 credit hour course without a lab fee would be $4,425. An itemized list of course offerings and their associated fees is provided below.
