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.
