Accelerated bachelor degree program

For some students, the major obstacle to enrolling in a chiropractic college or obtaining a DC degree is failure to complete the science courses required for entry into the doctoral program. National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) is providing a unique solution to this problem with its Accelerated Prerequisite Program for undergraduate students.

Beginning in the summer 2004 trimester, students attending NUHS will be able to finish one (or several) required bachelor's-level science courses prior to starting their doctoral program. Classes will be offered in two eight-week sessions, and include anatomy and physiology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and kinesiology.

"This program allows students to get to know NUHS professors and the campus, and sets them at an advantage when beginning the chiropractic degree curriculum," explained Dr. Randy Swenson, National's academic dean.

In conjunction with the Accelerated Prerequisite Program, NUHS announced it is offering a 50 percent discount per credit hour (compared to the standard bachelor's degree tuition) for qualified individuals. Students enrolled in the program are also eligible for financial aid and student housing. For more information, contact the NUHS Admissions Office at (800) 826-6285.
