Wayne State College partners with some of the top chiropractic schools in the U.S. to offer students an accelerated pathway toward a Doctor of Chiropractor (D.C.) degree, so they can earn their chiropractor degree even faster.
Thanks to the transfer programs provided through our partners, students spend three years in undergraduate studies at Wayne State and their final year at one of our partnering chiropractic schools.
After their first year in chiropractic school, the credits transfer back to WSC for students to earn their B.S. in Life Sciences from Wayne State, while also fulfilling their first-year requirements for the Doctor of Chiropractor program at a partnering chiropractic school.
