2011-2012 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Pre-chiropractic medicine
|
|
Pre-chiropractic health is not a degree-granting program. Consultation with an academic advisor is strongly recommended.
Students may, however, wish to choose a major and stay for a degree. A bachelor’s degree is required for licensure in many states so many chiropractic colleges are now requiring a degree.
Most chiropractic colleges abide by the prerequisite course recommendations of The Council on Chiropractic Education. This list of courses can be found on the website of The Association of Chiropractic Colleges and is used as a guideline when advising students. Individual colleges, however, may have additional specific requirements not listed here.
