It’s never too early to start preparing for your future!
Students can prepare to apply to Palmer College even while they’re still in high school. As a high school student, there are some steps you can take that will save you time and tuition, and prepare you for the challenges of attending chiropractic school.
±Ê²¹±ô³¾±ð°ù’s Bachelor of Science completion program available at the Main Campus can help you accelerate your education and save time and tuition while doing it. By enrolling in a 3+1 or 2+2 program, you can take coursework that fulfills your B.S. and D.C. degrees and can save you up to a year’s worth of time and tuition.
Tips to help you prepare for chiropractic school:
- Focusing your electives on science and health care classes will set you up for early success in your journey to becoming a chiropractor. Â
- Consider reaching out to a local chiropractor to hear their story and learn what it’s like to be in practice. Â
- You can also request more information from ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½. We’d love to hear from you and help you learn more about how you can change lives as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Â
