Events, Tours, Advising Sessions & Presentations

Connect with SCCO Admissions + Student Ambassadors In Person or Virtually!

We love connecting with prospective students and have a variety of ways to do so in person and virtually. Group events and presentations 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. We look forward to connecting with you soon!

During the Application Cycle which runs from July 1 through March 15 admissions officers schedule monthly drop in sessions to help candidates who have questions about their application. No RSVP required, just drop in and get your questions answered! Details will be posted soon, but in the meantime feel free to email your questions or request for an advising session to us at ODadmissions@ketchum.edu and we will be happy to assist you!
