Pre-Chiropractic Pathway

DR. GERALD SCHAFER, PRE-CHIROPRACTIC ADVISOR

The Pre-Chiropractic Pathway at Carroll College prepares students to apply to graduate programs in chiropractic care, a field that focuses on relieving pain and improving physical function. This pathway provides a well-rounded combination of courses from multiple disciplines, giving students the foundation they need to become analytical, compassionate, and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.

Please note that completion of the Pre-Chiropractic Pathway does not guarantee that all graduate/professional admission prerequisites have been met, nor does it assure admission into a chiropractic care degree program. Carroll students pursuing this pathway need to work closely with the appropriate pre-professional advisor, as well as the admission office(s) of all prospective graduate/professional programs.
