Alfred University and Northeast College of Health Sciences, both in New York, announce a new agreement that will help students save time and money while securing admission to Northeast College’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
The agreement allows Alfred University students majoring in biology to pursue either 4+3 or 3+3 articulation tracks toward Northeast College’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
The 4+3 pathway includes the B.A. or B.S. in biology with concentrations in biological sciences, human biology or molecular biology; the B.S. in sports and health sciences with a general or rehabilitation concentration; or any program of emphasis. The 3+3 pathway includes the B.A. or B.S. in biology with the same concentrations, the B.S. in sports and health sciences with a general concentration or any program of emphasis.
With the 3+3 option, students can complete three years at Alfred University and, after meeting GPA requirements, be accepted into Northeast College’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, reducing undergraduate tuition by one year. The 4+3 option allows students to complete their undergraduate degree before transitioning directly into Northeast College’s program.
“Alfred University is proud to partner with Northeast College of Health Sciences to create a clear, accelerated pathway for our students to pursue careers in chiropractic and the fields of health sciences," said Alfred University President Mark Zupan. "This agreement reflects our shared commitment to hands-on learning, student success, and making high-quality graduate education more accessible and affordable.”
“Partnerships like this are essential to Northeast College’s commitment to broadening access to graduate education,” said Northeast College President Michael Mestan. “We are eager to work with Alfred University to offer students clear and affordable pathways into chiropractic and health sciences careers.”
The articulation agreement was formally signed by leaders from both institutions. With coordinated advising support, students can begin their path to Northeast by submitting a letter of intent signed by their undergraduate advisor.
