State approves NYCC’s MSCA

New York Chiropractic College’s (NYCC) Master of Science Program in Clinical Anatomy (MSCA) was approved by New York State’s Education Department — the first of its kind to be introduced at a chiropractic college in conjunction with a medical school.

The program will begin classes in the fall of 2007 and graduate students two years thereafter. Instruction will take place at NYCC’s Seneca Falls campus — following a weekly schedule that enables students to attend the college’s anatomy facility.

Teaching practicums will be held at the Seneca Falls campus, at Syracuse’s SUNY Upstate Medical University, and at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine located downstate. Defense of a master’s thesis is a requirement.

The MSCA program, operating in conjunction with the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University in Syracuse and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York City, is intended to appeal to doctors of chiropractic who seek to enhance their education in anatomy and to enter careers in teaching the subject in secondary educational settings.
