Students are strongly encouraged to complete their bachelor’s degree prior to entering the Doctor of Chiropractic program. Some states require students to have an earned bachelor’s degree for licensure. Students are responsible for knowing the licensure requirements for the state in which they intend to practice or may practice in the future. Logan University strongly recommends all students who have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree, do so during their time at Logan to help prepare them to be practice-ready in all 50 states.

Acceptance into the Doctor of Chiropractic program does not imply acceptance into a Bachelor of Science program at the university. Students who wish to earn both a bachelor’s degree and the Doctor of Chiropractic must apply and be admitted into both programs. Students admitted through the general admission pathway typically select the standard 10 trimester Academic Degree Plan (ADP).
