Students who want to become chiropractors seek to help individuals whose daily lives are affected by musculoskeletal pain.

Chiropractors assist in the medical community by caring for a patient’s musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. They manage back and neck discomfort as well as other musculoskeletal pains and injuries. Ailments are treated through various modalities such as spinal adjustments, exercise and nutrition.

Selecting a Major

Concordia University Chicago’s pre-chiropractic medicine program is not a major, but includes sequences of foundational and prerequisite courses for entry into graduate professional study in chiropractic medicine.

Students may choose any major, as long as they complete the required prerequisite courses for admission to chiropractic school. However, the suggested pathway to a graduate program in chiropractic medicine is the Bachelor of Science in health science, as this will cover the most prerequisites. Because graduate program prerequisites vary from institution to institution, students must check directly with them for exact clinical hours and admission criteria.

You must attend professional school to earn a doctoral degree in chiropractic medicine.

Dedicated faculty in the College of Health, Science & Technology and the academic advising staff provide consistent and personal advisement of the student's academic program throughout their time at Concordia University Chicago.
