The Pre-chiropractic Program is designed to allow students to begin the study of chiropractic medicine during the senior year. Students study at Marywood University for three years.  The fourth year is spent at New York Chiropractic College.  A student who successfully completes all course work in the first two trimesters at New York Chiropractic College and whose transfer credits have been submitted will be granted a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Marywood. The student would then continue to study at New York Chiropractic College for two years and four months. Completion leads to a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.
