We love connecting with prospective students and have a variety of ways to do so. Please see the various options below and choose whatever best fits your needs. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
Schedule a Campus Tour or Advising Session
Due to COVID-19 mandates, all on-campus events have been cancelled until further notice. If you would like to schedule a phone advising session, please email your availability to ODadmissions@ketchum.edu and someone will get back to you promptly to set up a call. We look forward to connecting with you virtually!
Tours of the school and advising sessions are arranged by appointment. Schedule a campus tour and/or a one-on-one counseling session with an admissions director Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
Upcoming Admissions Events
The Southern California College of Optometry at MBKU invites you to join us at one of our Admissions Events. These annual events offer a great opportunity for prospective students at all levels of interest to explore the optometry profession, SCCO's program, MBKU's campus, student life and more.

Virtual Summer Admissions Workshop
Due to COVID-19 recommendations not to meet in large gatherings, we have adjusted our 2020 Summer Admissions Workshop to bring it to you virtually. This summer’s workshop will no longer take place on a specific date, but rather will be posted for you to review at your convenience. Please RSVP and we will email you when the program is available.
This event is designed for potential students who are strategizing for and planning to apply in the upcoming admissions cycle.
Detailed information on increasing applicant competitiveness and the ins-and-outs of the admissions process are chief topics. MBKU students present in a panel discussion. Along with potential students, parents/significant others are invited to attend to learn more about what our program has to offer, as well as a Financial Aid briefing.
Spring Admissions Open House 2021
It’s our biggest event of the year! It is geared for those who are beginning their exploration of both the optometric profession and an optometric education.
Family and friends are welcome to come along and share the experience. Learn about MBKU’s optometry program from admissions advisors, faculty, and MBKU students. Enjoy a campus tour, lab demos, presentations about student life, and more!
