B.S./Doctor of Chiropractic
Degree
(Note: Program Information Subject to Change)
An
articulated program between New York Chiropractic College and
Ramapo College of New Jersey leading to the completion of the
baccalaureate degree and the doctor of chiropractic degree.
An agreement between Ramapo College of New Jersey (RCNJ) and
the New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) will provide qualified
students the opportunity to complete the bachelor’s and
the doctor of chiropractic degrees in just over six years, one
year less than normal. Under its provisions, participating students
will enroll at RCNJ for coursework leading to the B.S. degree.
During the first three years, students will complete all prerequisite
coursework for entrance into NYCC as well as additional coursework
required by the individual student’s course of study in
a major. This will allow them to complete the baccalaureate
degree requirements in the first year of study at NYCC. Specific
GPA requirements, grades in specific coursework, and letters
of intent/application to NYCC are required for guaranteed admission
to NYCC. (Please consult the catalogue of NYCC for specific admission requirements)
Students enrolled in the 3+1 program who successfully complete
all coursework in the first two trimesters at NYCC will be granted
the B.S. degree from Ramapo College, provided they have met
all other RCNJ graduation requirements.
For information and specific requirements for admission to this
program, contact Dr. Rena Bacon, School of Theoretical and Applied
Science, Ramapo College of New Jersey, at (201) 684-7727 or rbacon@ramapo.edu.
