  • The Optometry Admission Test (OAT) is a standardized, 4-hour examination designed to measure general academic ability and comprehension of scientific information.

    . Each test results in a numerical score of 200-400. The results are scaled such that a score of 300 represents the average national performance. The four tests are as follows: Survey of Natural Sciences = 90 minutes, 100 questions – 40 questions cover biology, 30 questions cover general chemistry, and 30 questions cover organic chemistry Reading Comprehension = 50 minutes, 40 questions – three reading passages each with 13 or 15 questions about each passage Physics = 50 minutes, 50 questions

  • Like many students, Heven Ambachew ’24 wasn’t yet sure of her major when embarking on her PLU journey. Four years later, thanks to PLU’s individualized major pathway, she is the university’s first graduate with a major in innovation studies . Innovation Studies at PLU Courses…

    graduated in 2022 with a degree in biology. At first, Ambachew thought she’d go into computer programming and user experience design by majoring in computer science. In her first year at PLU, a Microsoft internship taught her about software engineering and product management. Ambachew dove into the field, working part-time during the school year and full-time one summer with Geeking Out Kids of Color (GOKiC). GOKiC is a Seattle-area after-school and summer program offering multicultural STEM education
