BS degree applications submitted by alumni of the UWS doctor of chiropractic program will be assessed individually.

Alumni applicants who have not completed the evidence-informed practice courses will be required to take the evidence informed courses to meet the learning objectives of the program. In the current curriculum, these courses include CSC6719 (2 credits) and CSC6279 (2 credits). The courses are offered online at the undergraduate tuition rate. (UWS will implement a new curriculum in fall of 2023. In the new curriculum the EIP required courses will be CSC5816, CSC5286, and CSC5386).

Up to 135 credits toward the bachelor’s degree are accepted from any regionally-accredited college or university. A maximum of 12 quarter credits of vocational/technical credits are accepted. Credit by examination through testing programs such as CLEP, DANTES, NY Board of Regents College Examination, or college challenge exams are accepted for humanities and social science credits. These credits must be listed on a transcript from an institution with regional accreditation. The following types of credit are not accepted toward the degree:

• Courses numbered below college level (e.g., remedial courses or courses below 100 in the course numbering system)
• Repeated courses
• Courses completed at an institution that is not institutionally accredited
• Courses taken as non-credit
• ESL courses not completed at a institutionally accredited institution
• Continuing education courses

A student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher at the completion of the Bachelor of Science degree requirements to be eligible to receive the degree. Transfer credits from prior undergraduate courses will not contribute to the cumulative GPA, unless they are from courses offered through UWS (e.g., online undergraduate courses). For current DC and NMD program students, continuing enrollment in the Bachelor of Science program is contingent upon eligibility for continuing enrollment in the DC and NMD programs through the first five quarters of the program. Eligibility for students transferring to UWS from another chiropractic or health professions school who apply to the bachelor’s program will be assessed individually.

Students must complete at least the last 25 percent of the credits for the degree while in residence as a matriculated student at UWS in order to be eligible.
