» Optometry is among the most rapidly changing professions in the health care system. The explosion of knowledge about vision, combined with a major expansion of optometry's scope of practice, has made this profession especially exciting and demanding. The Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris State University is at the leading edge of vision care technology and patient care delivery. Among the smallest of the nation's optometry schools (only 36 students per class), Ferris offers virtually personalized instruction by one of the country's finest optometric faculties, as well as, the advantages of a large system of clinics throughout the United States and Canada that assures a thorough exposure to the widest possible range of patient-care experiences. Although the College is small, Ferris State University is large (over 11,000 students) and, therefore, offers all the educational, cultural and social advantages of a major institution of higher learning.
