More About the Program

Optometry in Glendale

Midwestern University opens the doors of its Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degree program in the Fall of 2009.

The Arizona College of Optometry (AZCOPT) fosters lifelong learning through excellence in education, postgraduate programs, and scholarship. The four-year professional curriculum will help prepare optometrists who will provide exemplary patient care, serve the needs of the public, and improve the health and well-being of society.

With a continuing need for health care services due to our aging population and underserved areas, AZCOPT is striving to help fill those gaps. Face-to-face instruction, early clinical settings, and Midwestern University's reputation for academic excellence combine to make this new program successful.
