Students in the pre-optometry program will have the option of enrolling in one of three programs: Biology, Biology/Biotechnology, or Biomedical Science. Students will complete their general education requirements, the pre-requisites for the University of Missouri-St. Louis optometry program, and most of the requirements for the bachelor degree at Maryville. Basic science courses taken at University of Missouri-St. Louis will fulfill the requirements for the B.S. degree. The biology major (courses in biology, chemistry, physics) at Maryville totals 73 hours. The 3+4 program will count the 33 credits completed at University of Missouri-St. Louis toward the Maryville major. At least half of the required credits for the biology major must be completed at Maryville. The biology major does not require a minor.
