Notes
The curriculum in the Pre-Chiropractic pathway is designed to prepare students for admission to a professional program in Chiropractic medicine. A Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) is not required prior to application to some Chiropractic programs, however, it is strongly recommended.
**A minimum of 135 quarter credit hours are required for matriculation into all Chiropractic programs, with at least 36 of those credit hours coming from Physical Life Sciences, with labs.
No particular major is preferred, however, a Pre-Medical foundation is widely viewed as the best preparation for the Doctor of Chiropractic curriculum.
