PRENURSING<br />

There are two nursing programs which lead to certification<br />

as a Registered Nurse (R.N.). Consequently, <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

offers two pre-nursing programs.<br />

Two-Year Program<br />

The two year program offered by junior colleges provides<br />

the graduate with an Associate of Science degree in addition<br />

to the opportunity to obtain R.N. certification. Courses which<br />

may be taken at <strong>Southeastern</strong> and applied to the junior college<br />

program include English (two semesters), sociology (one<br />

semester), psychology (one-two semesters), nutrition (one<br />

semester), human anatomy (one semester), human physiology<br />

(one semester), and microbiology (one semester).<br />

Four-Year Program<br />

Four year nursing programs offered by senior colleges and<br />

universities provide the graduate with a Bachelor of Science<br />

degree in addition to the opportunity to obtain R.N. certification.<br />

Courses which may be taken at <strong>Southeastern</strong> during the<br />

first two years of prenursing include English (two semesters),<br />

American history (one semester), American government (one<br />

semester), general chemistry (one-two semesters), nutrition<br />

(one semester), general zoology or introductory biology course<br />

for majors (one semester), microbiology (one semester), human<br />

anatomy (one semester), human physiology (one semester),<br />

psychology (one-two semesters), sociology (one semester),<br />

statistics (one semester), and other related courses.<br />

For additional information, contact the Department of<br />

Biological Sciences.<br />

PREOCCUPATIONAL THERAPY<br />

To be considered for admission to Occupational Therapy<br />

programs at most universities, a candidate must (a) have<br />

completed 64-90 semester hours of pre-professional collegiate<br />

credit with a minimum GPA of 2.75, (b) have a minimum<br />

grade of “C” in all prerequisite courses, (c) have documentation<br />

of observation experience. In addition, the candidate may<br />

be required to take the Allied Health Professions Admissions<br />

Test (AHPAT).<br />

The prerequisite courses may include English (two-three<br />

semesters), speech (one semester), American history and<br />

government (two semesters), statistics (one semester), medical<br />

terminology (one semester), psychology (two-four semesters),<br />

physics (one-two semesters), human physiology and anatomy<br />

(two semesters).<br />

For additional information, contact the Department of<br />

Biological Sciences.<br />

PREOPTOMETRY<br />

Most programs recommend a B.S./B.A. in science (chemistry,<br />

biology, or interdisciplinary medical sciences degree) for<br />

admission. All of the entering students at NSU and UT had a<br />

B.S./B.A. upon admission.<br />

The course work to be completed at time of application<br />

to the optometry program includes general chemistry with<br />

laboratory (CHEM 1315 and CHEM 1415); physics with laboratory<br />

(PHYS 1114 or 2014 and PHYS 1214 or 2114); organic<br />

chemistry with laboratory (CHEM 3053/3062); biochemistry<br />

(CHEM 4115); Principles of Biology I and II with laboratory<br />

(BIOL 1404 and 1504), microbiology (BIOL 2114); English<br />

grammar and composition (ENG 1113 and 1213), requires “C”<br />

or higher; mathematics (6 semester hours), including college<br />

algebra (MATH 1513) and trigonometry (MATH 1613), however,<br />

calculus (MATH 2215) is required at several optometry<br />

programs; statistics (STAT 2153); psychology (PSY 1113).<br />

Other courses which are strongly recommended include human<br />

anatomy (BIOL 3614) and human physiology (BIOL 3624),<br />

social sciences, humanities, public speaking (COMM 2213),<br />

analytic geometry (MATH 2113), computer science (CIS 1003),<br />

accounting (ACCT 2103), and experimental psychology (PSY<br />

3433). The applicant must take the Optometry Admission Test<br />

(OAT), and scores must be submitted to the optometry program<br />

prior to application. The OAT should be taken the fall semester<br />

before you plan to apply. A minimum GPA of 2.5/4.0 or higher<br />

is required for all U.S. optometry programs.<br />

The same requirements will generally apply to other<br />

schools of optometry, however these specific requirements<br />

only address the program at Northeastern <strong>Oklahoma</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

University.<br />

For additional information, contact the Department of<br />

Chemistry, Computer, and Physical Sciences and visit the Association<br />

of Schools and Colleges of Optometry at <strong>www</strong>.opted.<br />

org and choose “About Optometric Education” for more details<br />

about optometry as a career.<br />

PREOSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE<br />

Most colleges of osteopathic medicine have a prerequisite<br />

of three years or 90 semester hours of college course work;<br />

however, the majority of students who are admitted will have<br />

received their bachelor’s degree upon entry. Students interested<br />

in preosteopathic medicine are encouraged to meet with<br />

an advisor as soon as possible to determine a major/minor<br />

program. It is important to understand that a student may major<br />

in any discipline as long as the minimum requirements for<br />

admission are met.<br />

Coursework should include the following: English (ENG<br />

1113 & 1213), general chemistry I & II with lab (CHEM 1315<br />

& 1415), organic chemistry I & II with lab (CHEM 3053, 3153,<br />

3062 & 3162), physics I & II with lab (PHYS 1114 & 1214), and<br />

principles of biology I (BIOL 1404). In addition, at least 4 more
