 After Optometry became a school in 1941, the connection with the Physics curriculum was severed and the next graduating class in 1942 received a BS in Optometry (+ COpt).When a graduate-level (5th) year was added in the 1950-51 academic year, graduates of the class of 1951 received a Master's in Optometry (MOpt + COpt).The MOpt degree continued until 1969, although in 1966, yet another (6th) year of graduate training was approved by the Regents of the University of California.
