Health Science Pre-Chiropractic Concentration
As a health science major at Grace, you鈥檒l be equipped with the mathematical and scientific skills necessary to prepare for graduate medical training in a variety of fields. Pre-chiropractic programs prepare you for chiropractic training at a graduate institution. Chiropractic medicine is effective at treating a variety of issues related to the spine and the nervous system, and it鈥檚 trusted by millions as a lower cost means to deal with health issues.
Grace鈥檚 health science program is founded on the truth that the human body is an incredible creation of God. We acknowledge His role in not only its creation but in His providing for our health, whether that鈥檚 through the body鈥檚 ability to heal itself or the knowledge He gives us to promote healing through medicine.
You鈥檒l begin the program with foundational science courses and labs in fields such as biology, ecology, and physics, along with advanced biological and mathematical courses. At Grace, our health science faculty will know you by name, mentoring you academically and supporting you in living out your faith as a scientist. Our faculty will be present at your labs and available to answer your questions.
A distinguishing characteristic of Grace鈥檚 health science program is that each student is required to complete field learning. With a pre-chiropractic concentration, you鈥檒l shadow practicing chiropractors or serve in an entry-level occupation. Through your learning experience, you鈥檒l get an in-depth look at the healthcare system, better allowing you to visualize yourself in a career before tackling the rigors of graduate medical education.
After you graduate with your pre-chiropractic health science degree, you鈥檒l be able to continue your education at a graduate institution, leading to a medical career in chiropractic medicine. If you choose not to pursue graduate studies, you鈥檒l still be equipped for a variety of health science jobs, such as laboratory work, medical sales, or even life science education.
