Description
The Pre-Chiropractic pre-professional pathway at BSC provides the first two years of required classes for students planning a career as a chiropractic practitioner. Because chiropractic schools differ in their requirements, BSC offers a suggested curriculum as a guide. Study includes general chemistry and biology, organic chemistry, college physics, algebra trigonometry, and statistics.
Preparation
High school students interested in chiropractic should pursue study heavy in the sciences.
Requirements
Students who complete the suggested curriculum requirements receive a Liberal Arts - Associate in Science degree and are eligible for transfer to a four-year institution. If also pursuing an Associate of Arts (AA) degree, an additional three general education credits in the Arts & Humanities and Social & Behavioral Sciences is required.
Bismarck State College has many cooperative, articulation, or transfer agreements with postsecondary institutions both inside and outside of the North Dakota University System. Some of these agreements are established to allow students to remain on campus as they complete their bachelor’s degree. In all cases, students seeking to transfer after completing a degree at BSC should consult the academic catalog of their destination college and work with their academic advisor to plan for this transition.
Career Opportunities
Many schools of chiropractic are accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education.
