Hocking College Perry Campus will host an open house and program showcase July 23, 2014 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at 5454 State Route 37, New Lexington OH.

Perry Campus offers five complete degree programs, general coursework in any of the programs offered at Hocking College’s main campus, and the ability for students to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. The program showcase will consist of Business Management and Entrepreneurship; Health Information Management; Heavy Equipment Management; Nursing; Opticianry; and Social Services, Corrections and Criminal Justice.

The Opticianry program is offered exclusively at the Perry Campus. Students in the program will receive a combination of hands-on lab and clinical experiences while at the college. The program provides specific courses for opticians throughout the first year, as well as off-campus clinical education in optical settings during the second year.

Employment opportunities in opticianry are strong, with salaries ranging from $15 - $18 per hour. Perry Campus prepares students with primary coursework and skills to successfully complete the licensing examinations to become an Ohio Licensed Dispensing Optician (LDO) and eventually enter the field.
