How would you like to knock off a year of coursework while studying to become a Doctor of Chiropractic?
It can be done by enrolling in the 3 + 1 Bachelor of Science degree program at the University of Maine Orono. The 3 + 1 Bachelor of Science degree program with University of Maine Orono and Logan University was specifically developed for students who intend to pursue a chiropractic education. This program provides qualified students with an opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science degree and the Doctor of Chiropractic degree in one less year. Students from University of Maine Orono will complete their fourth year of study at Logan University. During this fourth year of study, the student will be completing both their last year of undergraduate coursework and the first year of the professional program leading to the Doctor of Chiropractic degree. The student will be awarded the Bachelor of Science degree from UM at the completion of the first year of professional study at Logan. This means you will reduce your time in school by one year!! |
