To qualify for admissions to a chiropractic doctoral degree program, entering students must have earned a minimum of 90 transferable semester units (135 quarter units) from a nationally or regionally accredited institution.
There are GPA requirements based on whether or not you’ve completed your bachelor’s degree and the science courseload you’ve taken. Our admissions team would be happy to complete a no-cost transcript evaluation.
While the 90-unit threshold is nationally dictated by the CCE, it also ensures that students have the foundation necessary to succeed in a post-graduate level environment.
If you’re still completing your undergraduate degree, we strongly encourage you to work with our admissions staff to help select the courses that will best prepare you for success in chiropractic school and beyond.
While there are no specific requirements when it comes to general studies credits, Life Chiropractic College West strongly recommends a well-rounded course of study and we require transferable credits to be 100-level courses or above.
The following course types are often helpful in preparing you to earn your doctoral degree and in the chiropractic profession as you transition into a career after graduating:
