School of Optometry

Introduction

The school offers three outstanding degree programs: the two-year Associate of Science program in optometric technology for optometric technicians and opticians, the Doctor of Optometry program for the education of optometrists, and the graduate program in visual science and physiological optics, which leads to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for those interested in research and teaching.

Optometric Technology Program

Students completing the program are qualified to begin a career as an optometric technician or an optician. The general non-technical courses, such as English composition and required electives, may be completed either before or after the technical courses. An additional option allows students to become laboratory opticians by completing courses in lens surfacing and fabrication (optician's laboratory concentration).

Doctor of Optometry Program

A student may be admitted to the school's Doctor of Optometry program after earning a bachelor's degree or after completing a minimum of 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences. Major areas of concentration are typically in the physical, biological, or behavioral sciences, but other fields may be selected. General courses specifically required for admission to the optometry program are listed in the School of Optometry bulletin.

Bachelor's Degree-O.D. Program

A student who is admitted to the School of Optometry after completing 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences and who has satisfied the fundamental skills, distribution, and major concentration requirements, including a concentration in a department of the College, may apply 32 credit hours in optometry as electives toward the bachelor's degree to be received in the initial major. See also "General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees" in this bulletin.

Courses for the Nonmajor

Certain courses offered by the School of Optometry, such as those that examine fundamental aspects of vision, may have application to the career fields of students completing majors in other degree programs.

Studying Abroad

The College of Arts and Sciences encourages students to take part in programs of overseas study sponsored by Indiana University (see the section "Overseas Study Programs" elsewhere in this bulletin). In cases where there is no Indiana University-sponsored program in an area of interest, students may apply to programs administered by other institutions and organizations. Credits from non-Indiana University programs may be accepted as transfer credit, subject to the following conditions:

1. Indiana University admissions policy limits the acceptance of transfer credit from study abroad to programs administered by a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or by a foreign institution recognized by the ministry of education of the country as a university-level institution.
2. Credit can only be awarded upon receipt of an official transcript, or equivalent document, listing specific courses taken and grades assigned. The amount of credit awarded by overseas study may not exceed the number of credit hours that can be earned at Indiana University in the same amount of time.
3. The assignment of equivalent Indiana University course numbers or undistributed credit for course work transferred from non--Indiana University overseas study programs is subject to the approval of the appropriate academic departments and an assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
4. Course work not approved for transfer as credit in a particular academic department may be accepted, with the approval of the College of Arts and Sciences, as COAS foreign study credit. However, no more than 8 hours of such credit can be counted toward a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.
5. In cases where courses taken abroad fall into a set sequence of courses at Indiana University, the relevant academic departments may at their discretion require examinations before any transfer credit is awarded. Specific examples include courses in foreign languages, applied music, music theory, mathematics, and natural sciences.
6. Overseas study programs vary greatly in quality. No transfer credit at all may be awarded for programs of uncertain quality, despite the issuance of a transcript.
7. Students denied transfer credit for overseas study may seek credit by examination, as outlined elsewhere in this bulletin.

Under certain circumstances students may be permitted to use Indiana University financial aid toward programs sponsored by organizations other than Indiana University. Information and application forms may be obtained from the Office of Overseas Study, Franklin Hall 303, (812) 855-9304. For such an application to be approved, the course work undertaken overseas must be integral to the student's major program at Indiana University, and the application must be approved by the student's academic department and the Office of Overseas Study.

Introduction

Urban studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on problems of urbanization, metropolitan dynamics, and city systems. The program addresses a range of urban-related interests including urbanization in developing countries, urban ethnic and racial segregation, housing analysis, transportation, environmental and land use planning, and cities in the emerging information economy. An interdisciplinary perspective on the dynamics and problems of urban development is gained from course work taught by associated faculty from several academic units of the university. The program is administered by the Department of Geography. It offers the undergraduate Certificate in Urban Studies and a graduate minor (M.A. or Ph.D.) in urban affairs. For further information, contact the Department of Geography, Student Building 120, (812) 855-6303.
