Health Science Pre-Chiropractic Concentration

As a health science major at Grace, you’ll 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’s trusted by millions as a lower cost means to deal with health issues.

Grace’s 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’s through the body’s ability to heal itself or the knowledge He gives us to promote healing through medicine.

You’ll 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’s health science program is that each student is required to complete field learning. With a pre-chiropractic concentration, you’ll shadow practicing chiropractors or serve in an entry-level occupation. Through your learning experience, you’ll 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’ll 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’ll still be equipped for a variety of health science jobs, such as laboratory work, medical sales, or even life science education.
