In Canada, two post-secondary institutions offer four year Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree programs: the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto and the Universite du Quebec in Trois Rivieres (instruction in French). The minimum entrance requirement is successful completion of at least three years of post-secondary education. Most entrants have a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
Admission to CMCC requires a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.5 in 90 credits of undergraduate study. There are no specific course requirements but potential applicants are encouraged to study kinesiology, biology, psychology, anatomy, physical education and chemistry. Chiropractic colleges in the United States accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) also are recognized by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta. Students may complete either one or two years at Northwestern Polytechnic, and then transfer to the University of Alberta, or another university, for the remainder. |
