Prof.D in Chiropractic

The Doctor of Chiropractic program is accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education and is meant for students with a prior bachelor's degree, as well as those moving over from a different chiropractic program. Depending on previous coursework, students finish in three and a half years or less, across ten trimesters. Chiropractors treat and help prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, drawing on diagnostic skill along with rehabilitative exercise, nutrition and lifestyle counseling. The curriculum totals 198.5 credits and includes at least 1,000 clinical hours. Graduates may work in independent practice, group practice, multidisciplinary clinics, hospitals, research, higher education or healthcare administration. The program is delivered in person, and faculty are described as welcoming practitioners who also run their own businesses.
