Chiropractic

Upon the completion of the fourth year (first year at NYCC) you will receive a B.S. degree in Biology from Ramapo College. The chiropractic curriculum at NYCC is a 10-trimester program of approximately 3 years and 4 months. This program should allow you to complete your B.S. degree and the Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree in one year less than normally would be required to complete each degree individually.

Chiropractors typically set up their own practice and can even pursue a specialty in areas such as chiropractic pediatrics, in acupuncture or in sports.
