The BS in human biology degree completion program is available to all current UWS DC program students and alumni. The design of the program is modeled after the general educational components of the traditional liberal arts biology major. The degree fulfills most bachelor’s degree requirements for graduate study, employment, or licensure. States that require a bachelor’s degree for chiropractic licensure are listed and updated on the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Board website. For current DC program students, credits for the BS degree come from a student’s previous undergraduate work (at least 135 quarter credits) and coursework from the basic sciences component of the chiropractic program, plus two evidence-informed practice courses. The credits from the DC program courses are dually-attributed to both the BS and DC degree. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher at the completion of the BS degree requirements to be eligible to receive the BS degree. Students can apply to the bachelor’s program at any time and will receive a diploma when all requirements are met.

Program Highlights
Dual-Attribution
Credits from the chiropractic program are dually-attributed to both the BS in Human Biology and the Doctor of Chiropractic degree so no extra time is needed to complete either degree.
Requirement Fulfillment
Because UWS is regionally accredited, the Bachelor of Science degree fulfills most bachelor’s degree requirements for graduate study, employment and licensure. States that require a bachelor’s degree for chiropractic licensure are listed and updated on the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards website.
Exclusive UWS Benefit
The Bachelor of Science degree in human biology is only available to current UWS doctor of chiropractic students and recent doctor of chiropractic graduates. Students can apply to the bachelor’s program at any time and will receive a diploma when all requirements are met.
Solid Foundation
A bachelor’s degree traditionally represents undergraduate study with a core of cultural and communication proficiency and a depth of coursework in the chosen major. This tradition is incorporated into the UWS bachelor’s degree.
