If you're planning on applying to Berkeley Optometry, we encourage you to visit us! Every Friday, we offer student-led tours and an information session, followed by the opportunity to attend a Pre-Clinical class. Our Friday Visitation Program is coordinated by the Berkeley Optometry Ambassadors (BOA). Visitation programs for Summer 2008 will resume on June 6 and conclude August 8. The summer program will have limited dates available and a modified tour. Please see the schedule below.  Meet the BOAs! See BOA Bios and Contacts.
