The Program

The Ophthalmic Medical Technology program provides an intensive combination of lectures, laboratory, and clinical experiences leading to a Bachelor of Science. The program is divided into the pre-professional curriculum and the professional curriculum and requires 124 SC to complete. The pre-professional portion includes a minimum of 55 SC, which students must complete prior to enrollment in the professional component. Students may complete the pre-professional curriculum at any regionally accredited college or university.

Students accepted into the professional component begin their course of study in August. A full-time track is offered which requires six (6) semesters (including two fall, spring, and summer semesters) to complete.

The Ophthalmic Medical Technology Program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was recently accepted to the Academic Common Market of the Southern Regional Education Board.  Out-of-state students are subject to the out-of-state tuition rate; however, students in the following states may qualify for in-state tuition rates: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
