Advising Course Plan - Health Sciences Major - Chiropractic Medicine Interest
Those interested in pursuing a career in Chiropractic Medicine should follow the curriculum plan listed below, including a common core of prerequisite course work (*). Some requirements may differ from the ones below, depending on the graduate program in which you may be interested. Please make sure to look at various graduate program requirements for different universities (early on – in your 1st year) in which you may be interested, so that you can modify your course plan according to requirements needed for graduate programs to which you might apply. Speak to your advisor if you have a particular area of interest in mind. Of course, make sure you satisfy all the Health Sciences (HLSC) major requirements, which can be found in the course catalog online (the plan below should allow you to do this).
Chiropractic programs generally require about a 3.0 GPA.
Take the GRE exam in preparation for chiropractic school applications by the end of summer before Fourth Year.
