Visit SCO

Southern College of Optometry Is Located at 1245 Madison Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee.

 

A campus tour is a good way to meet an admissions officer and see what SCO has to offer before you begin optometry school. The best time to visit is a year or two prior to when you intend to apply.

Guided tours by SCO Student Ambassadors are provided to interested candidates during our regular business hours Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. by appointment only. To schedule an appointment with an admissions officer, please contact the Office of Student Services at (901) 722-3224 or (800) 238-0180.

Though we highly encourage you to come and see SCO in person, if you cannot make the trip to Memphis, you can experience a bit of our campus through our online interactive tour.


You may also view an extensive video tour of The Eye Center at SCO. Led by a Student Ambassador, this video will show you all the service areas and let you see why SCO is renowned for its outstanding clinical facilities:
