Pre-Chiropractic
Students who choose a pre-chiropractic course of study prepare for entrance to schools that provide professional training in health care fields. You'll be encouraged to earn a biomedical science or other baccalaureate degree and to follow the pre-professional course requirements that include animal biology, chemistry, physics, psychology as well as humanities and social science electives. You'll work with a dedicated adviser to improve your chance of admission to your preferred professional degree program and to tailor your learning to match the program's requirements.
