Program Description
3+3 articulation agreements with selected
chiropractic schools allow students to complete the prerequisite courses
necessary for admission to chiropractic school while earning a Northwest
Bachelor of Science degree at an accelerated rate. During the student's
first three years, students complete a minimum of 90 credit hours, including
general education courses, institutional requirements, and other courses
necessary for admission to chiropractic programs, especially science
courses. Upon completion, students apply for admission to an affiliated
chiropractic program, such as Logan College of Chiropractic or Palmer College
of Chiropractic. Upon admission and completion of their first year of
chiropractic study, a maximum of 34 credits will be transferred from Logan or
Palmer, in order to satisfy the remaining requirements for a Northwest Bachelor
of Science degree.
