Pre-Chiropractic
Students in the Pre-Chiropractic Track program will be prepared for future careers in the chiropractic field. Working one-on-one with a faculty advisor allows students to carefully craft their course selections, participate in field experiences and internships, and conduct discipline-specific research in their senior capstone course. Our students graduate with the capacity to integrate new and pre-existing knowledge, keenly observe the world around them, and exhibit self-discipline and critical thinking skills.
