The Michigan College of Optometry (MCO) at Ferris State University is at the leading edge of vision care technology and patient care delivery. Among the smallest of the nation's optometry schools, Ferris offers (through its low student to doctor ratio) virtually personalized instruction by one of the country's finest optometric faculties, as well as, the advantages of a large system of clinics throughout the United States and Canada that assures a thorough exposure to the widest possible range of patient-care experiences. Although the College is small, Ferris State University is large (over 11,000 students) and, therefore, offers all the educational, cultural and social advantages of a major institution of higher learning. In addition, MCO recently received funding for a new optometry building. In the summer of 2009, construction will start with an anticipated occupancy of October 2010. For students with three years of undergraduate education, MCO offers a Bachelor’s of Science in Vision Science after completion of the student’s first year in the doctor of optometry program. The fourth year program includes a variety of clinical experiences, including private practice and practice management instruction as well as web-based interactive grand rounds. MCO has a very active Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (SVOSH) program, giving many of our students the opportunity to provide eye care to third-world countries.
