Why There’s No Better Place to Start Your Health Care Career

When you attend the Southern California School of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University, you’ll step into a legacy of clinical and educational excellence that started back in 1904 by our founder and namesake.

You’ll also become part of a tightly knit academic family, including an alumni group that’s among your chosen profession’s most accomplished researchers, clinicians and teachers.

We had a different name when Dr. Ketchum first opened our doors. But today, more than 100 years later, you’ll find the same high standards for academics, clinical skills and professional development alive and flourishing here on our beautiful Southern California campus.
