Herbert Wertheim Optometry Prerequisite Check Form

At the Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science, we introduce our students to clinical education on day one. To make this possible, applicants demonstrate mastery of basic science, advanced science and select general education topics prior to entering. The prerequisites courses that we require create the foundation for your four years in the OD program.

Rather than transcript reviews, we ask that you please fill out this form if you have questions regarding four or more prerequisites. If you have questions email us directly at optometry-admissions@berkeley.edu.

Please fill out the form with information regarding each prerequisite course that you would like us to review. A description of the topics that should be covered in each prerequisite is listed on our website under the Course Requirements page.

We will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible.

Before you fill out this form, please check our course requirements page first. At the bottom of the page, there are drop down menus of how many semesters/quarters are needed for the course to be fulfilled, what topics should have been covered and any additional information needed specifically. Additionally, please verify that your courses in question do not appear on our Course Equivalencies page.
