THE PRE-CHIROPRACTIC
/ PRE-PODIATRIC PROGRAM

The Pre-Chiropractic/Pre-Podiatric Program at Neumann University

For students considering a career in either chiropractic or podiatric medicine, Neumann University has established educational partnerships with both the Northeast College of Health Science in Seneca Falls, NY, and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in New York, NY. Based upon mutual respect for the integrity of parallel academic programs, these “3 + 3” Articulation Agreements have been designed for qualified Neumann students. Upon successful completion of a stipulated curriculum and satisfactory completion of specified entrance requirements, such students are automatically admitted to the degree programs of either of these medical schools.

Students who have been accepted at Neumann and who have declared their intent to continue their studies at either the Northeast College of Health Science or the New York College of Podiatric Medicine take three years of prescribed courses at Neumann which lead to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biological Science. These three years of study satisfy all prerequisite course work and enable the student to enter his/her first year as a medical student at either medical institution. This first year of study at either the Northeast College of Health Science or the New York College of Podiatric Medicine satisfies senior year requirements at Neumann, and the baccalaureate degree would be conferred, upon successful completion of all first-year courses at either medical college. For additional information regarding any of the above Pre-Professional Educational Options, please contact the School of Arts and Sciences at 610-558-5509 or the pre-medical advisor at Neumann University, Dr. Brinda B. Govindaraju.
