University of Detroit Mercy approved to launch School of Optometry in Novi

(CBS DETROIT)Pre-accreditation approval was granted for the University of Detroit Mercy to open its School of Optometry in Novi.

According to a news release from the university, the new institution, which is situated at 41555 W. 12 Mile Road, will be Michigan’s second institution of Optometry. In the fall of 2025, classes will start.

According to university authorities, the program’s discussion started four years ago in response to the increased demand for optometrists in the US and Michigan.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that between 2023 and 2033, employment will rise by 9%.

In a statement, University President Donald B. Taylor said, “Today is a great day for the University, our Michigan community, and the thousands of aspiring students nationwide who aspire to become optometrists.” “More than three years of hard work by many talented and dedicated people has contributed to today’s announcement.”

Applications from students will be accepted beginning in December.

The institution inaugurated the Detroit Mercy Eye Institute in Novi in April, and the new program follows months later. Since then, patients have been admitted to the institute.
