Pre-Optometry Professional Society

The TTU Pre-Optometry Professional Society welcomes students interested in the growing field of optometry! We offer students the opportunity to meet others interested in pursuing a future in optometry while completing their undergraduate degrees. 

Our goal is to educate the members about the profession of optometry and the requirements for admission to a professional program and assist members in becoming successful applicants to the optometry school of their choice.

POPS strives to promote fellowship, provide leadership opportunities, and give our members the chance to participate in volunteer work and community outreach.
