Parker University’s ABC Program: How It Works
Years 1-2: Enroll in the bachelor’s degree program in anatomy and earn prerequisites for the DC program. Students begin this journey by completing foundational coursework in anatomy, then selecting one of four high-impact minors, including:
Year 3: Start the Parker University DC program. Students can start the DC program as early as their third year. Some chiropractic coursework will be applied toward completing your bachelor’s degree.
Year 4: Begin a master’s degree with 100% scholarship for your tuition! During a student’s final four trimesters of the DC program, they can start working on the master’s degree of their choice at no additional tuition cost (if the degree is completed within two years of DC graduation).
In total, earning your three degrees can take just over five years. Your total estimated cost? Less than half of the cost and time of completing this as a traditional route!
