Northeast College and Pitt-Bradford DC program partnership announced

Northeast College of Health Sciences and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford have partnered, featuring new articulation agreements that provide students time- and money-saving pathways to Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.

The DC program partnership allows students in select majors to join a 4+3 articulation track, earning their bachelor’s degree from Pitt-Bradford and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northeast a year faster than completing each degree separately—while securing guaranteed admission to Northeast, a Northeast College press release noted. Students majoring in biology, chemistry, environmental science, exercise science, physical sciences, pre-chiropractic, pre-nutrition, pre-veterinary medicine or any program of emphasis (POE) are eligible.

Interprofessional focus

“We’re excited to partner with the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford to support academic excellence, leadership and continued learning,” said Michael Mestan, DC, EdD, president of Northeast College of Health Sciences. “This collaboration highlights our interprofessional focus, and we look forward to welcoming Pitt-Bradford students who are ready to reimagine health and pursue their doctorates at Northeast.”

James Baldwin, PhD, vice president for enrollment management at Pitt-Bradford, said, “This new partnership gives our graduates a great regional option to keep learning and earn a doctoral degree. Northeast has a strong history and is one of only 20 accredited chiropractic schools in the country.”

The agreement for the DC program partnership was formally signed by Baldwin, Pitt-Bradford President Richard Esch and Amie Redmond, MS, CAS, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Northeast. With guided support from both institutions, students avoid spending time and money on unnecessary coursework and begin their path to Northeast by submitting a letter of intent signed by their undergraduate advisor.
