National prepares its DC students to become first-contact, primary-care physicians and musculoskeletal specialists, fully qualified to diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of conditions. In addition to a distinctive science oriented, hands-on curriculum, including a full year of dissection of the human body, National students are taught a solid core curriculum of Diversified Technique, the most commonly used and scientifically proven manipulative procedures, as well as flexion/distraction. Students also explore alternative treatment methods, including acupuncture, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation, postural retraining, and botanical remedies. Students are prepared for the realities of life in the real world through the university’s unique Ethical Practice Management Program, which includes developing a real business plan for the future. During their last year, National students learn first-hand how to practice chiropractic primary care medicine at one of the university-affiliated clinics. Also available are special student rotations, Ancillary Clinical Experiences, Community Based Internships, and Clinical Clerkships. As one of only two institutions in the U.S. to combine chiropractic, oriental and naturopathic medicine on one campus, National students have the unique opportunity to participate in integrated learning situations. Instead of competing with each other, NUHS students are able to dialogue together, share collaborative research and clinical care opportunities, and work together to provide their future patients with the best of natural health care. NUHS offers its DC program at its university in Lombard, IL, & also through the University Partnership Center of St. Petersburg College in FL.     Accreditation Information: Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree: 10 trimesters    Previous Degrees Baccalaureate  Pre-Requisite Courses English Language Skills- 6 semester hours Psychology - 3 semester hours Social Sciences or Humanities - 15 semester hours Biological Sciences - 6 semester hours Chemistry - 12 semester hours (at least 3 semester hours of chemistry general or inorganic chemistry and and at least 6 hours of organic chemistry and/or biochemistry) Physics and Related Studies - 6 semester hours  International Student Requirements A properly completed Application for Admission including a non-refundable $55 fee.Transcript(s) of college records (or equivalents acceptable to National University) mailed directly from the college(s) attended or evaluation agency.
