Just thought it would be a good idea to keep track of the impending schools in a single thread.
University of the Incarnate Word, Texas
http://www.uiw.edu/optometry/index.htm
http://www.uiw.edu/news/#opt
The University of the Incarnate Word has announced the addition of a new program, the UIW School of Optometry and its Founding Dean Hani Ghazi-Birry, MS, MD, OD, PhD, OCS. Students can begin a pre-optometry track in fall 2008. UIW will be the only faith-based School of Optometry in the United States
Western University of Health Sciences, California
http://www.westernu.edu/xp/edu/optometry/welcome.xml
The nation's newest College of Optometry will build upon this rock-solid foundation by establishing its own clear identity, delineating a central focus for its educational, clinical, and research programs, and by creating a distinguished reputation.
Midwestern University, Arizona (March 2008 Alumni Newsletter)
http://www.midwestern.edu/alumnipulse/glendale.asp
A four-year Doctor of Optometry Program leading to the O.D. degree will begin in the fall of 2009. The new program will be the only optometry program in the state, and only one of 18 in the country. With many medically-underserved rural areas and an aging population, Arizonans will require additional optometrists to provide both routine and corrective eye care. MWU's new program plans to graduate 50 students per year. The University also plans to open and operate an optometry clinic by 2009, which will complement current medical practices in the Midwestern University Clinic.
So come Dec 2009, we'll have 20 US/PR optometry schools?
