Program Information

  • Traditional MS Program:
    • A 1-2 year post baccalaureate course of study in Vision Science leading to the Master of Science degree.
  • Combined MS / OD Program:
    • Students currently enrolled in optometry at The Ohio State University may simultaneously pursue an MS degree and earn both degrees within the normal period for the OD.
  • MS / Advanced Practice Fellowship Programs:
    • The MS degree may be pursued together with a two-year advanced clinical fellowship in one of four areas:
