Area of Study
Students who are applying to chiropractic college must demonstrate a strong science background as well as a basic understanding of communications, social sciences and humanities. Chiropractic colleges require a minimum of 90 semester credits in general biology, general and organic chemistry, physics, communication, social sciences and humanities. No standardized entrance examination is required. Students are strongly encouraged to complete a degree to ensure that they meet licensing requirements in all states. The pre-chiropractic curriculum is compatible with many majors and includes all of the prerequisites for chiropractic college admission. The College of General Studies provides advising services to assist each student in developing a plan and selecting a major best suited to his or her goals.
