Chiropractic Program Articulation
Degree Type
Articulated Program
The Chiropractic Program is an articulated program sponsored with the New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) (http://www.nycc.edu/).
Chiropractic focuses upon the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and explores the effects these disorders have on the nervous system and on health in general.
One of the fastest-growing health professions, chiropractic increasingly finds itself managing patient care through collaborative partnerships with other essential health care professionals. Students in the entry level component of the chiropractic program spend about three years at Felician University completing 100 credits in the pre- professional component (47 credits in the General Education Curricular Commons curriculum and 53 credits in the required pre-professional Core).
Students must apply for admission for their professional coursework at the New York Chiropractic University. Applicants must have a 3.000 GPA.
Upon successful completion of their first year of courses at NYCC, Felician University will award the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon completion of the remainder of the required coursework (approximately two years) NYCC will award the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic (DC).
Degree Requirements
All students must:
- Maintain a minimum overall GPA of 3.000 and a minimum grade of “C” in all math and science courses;
- Notify NYCC of their intent to pursue the Chiropractic Program no later than the end of their first year of studies at Felician University;
- Provide three letters of recommendation (including at least one from a Doctor of Chiropractic); and
- Participate in an admissions interview.
Note: The minimal satisfaction of entrance requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the professional portion of the program. The final decision for acceptance rests with the professional school.
Program length: 45 months (based on full-time enrollment)
