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

Emma Stafki grew up on Washington’s Key Peninsula, hearing stories about a tragedy in 1968. In nearby Vaughn Bay, her grandparents witnessed the heartwrenching capture of Hugo, a three-year-old orca whale. Southern Resident orcas typically stay with their mothers their whole lives; losses echo throughout…

The process was aided by a large zoom lens and their readiness to drive to a local sighting alert from the Orca Network. “We drove up as quickly as possible, and it worked quite a few times—but they’re fast swimmers.” For the film, Stafki and her sister interviewed PLU biology professor Michael Behrens, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s Southern Resident recovery coordinator Lynne Barre, and Lummi Tribal member and Sacred Lands

Accepted to med school For those passing through northwestern Idaho, here’s hoping you don’t meet Guy Jensen. Jensen is a volunteer emergency medical technician, who, during the summer, is likely to be one of the first people on the scene in the event of a…
dental school, or another heath science professional school. For Jensen, this meant working with Matt Smith, associate professor of biology and chair of the department. Smith is one of six natural science professors on the Health Sciences Committee. At PLU, most students on the health-sciences track work through the biology curriculum and take an entire year of organic chemistry. By the junior year, with most of the lower-division classes out of the way, students select classes and extra-curricular

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
