Alfred University to offer new chiropractic degree pathway

According to a press release, the 4+3 pathway includes Alfred University’s BA or BS in biology with concentrations in biological sciences, human biology or molecular biology; its BS in sports and health sciences with a general or rehabilitation concentration; or any program of emphasis. The 3+3 pathway includes the BA or BS in biology with the same concentrations, the BS in sports and health sciences with a general concentration or any program of emphasis.

With the 3+3 option, students can complete three years at Alfred University and, after meeting GPA requirements, be accepted into Northeast College’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, reducing undergraduate tuition by one year. The 4+3 option allows students to complete their undergraduate degree before transitioning directly into Northeast College’s program.

“Partnerships like this are essential to Northeast College’s commitment to broadening access to graduate education,” said Northeast College President Michael Mestan, DC, EdD. “We are eager to work with Alfred University to offer students clear and affordable pathways into chiropractic and health sciences careers.”

“Alfred University is proud to partner with Northeast College of Health Sciences to create a clear, accelerated pathway for our students to pursue careers in chiropractic and the fields of health sciences,” said Alfred University President Mark Zupan. “This agreement reflects our shared commitment to hands-on learning, student success and making high-quality graduate education more accessible and affordable.”

With coordinated advising support, students can avoid unnecessary coursework and begin their path to Northeast by submitting a letter of intent signed by their undergraduate advisor.
