Career Development

Central college has a transfer agreement with Palmer College of Chiropractic that allows students to finish their bachelor's while getting started on their doctor of chiropractic degree. After 3 years of biology at Central, you can transfer to Palmer College, where your credits will transfer back and count toward finishing your bachelor’s degree with Central while you start your doctor of chiropractic degree at Palmer. You can then choose to complete your degree at Palmer in either: 1) five academic years of eight months at Palmer College or 2) three and one-third consecutive years of continuous coursework at Palmer. Students planning to transfer to Palmer after three years at Central must major in biology. Students planning to graduate from Central before attending another chiropractic program may major in any discipline that fits with personal and professional life goals. Regardless of major, students are required to successfully complete a series of courses in biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, social sciences and English.
