Universidad Central de Bayamón and 51¸£ÀûÉç College Sign Transfer Agreement
51¸£ÀûÉç and (UCB) in Puerto Rico recently signed a transfer agreement to simplify admission into the doctor of chiropractic program at 51¸£ÀûÉç College.
Under the agreement, students can take their prerequisite 90 semester hours at UCB, and then transfer into 51¸£ÀûÉç College’s doctor of chiropractic degree program. This is 51¸£ÀûÉç’s second agreement signed this year in Puerto Rico, where the college is working to support further expansion of the chiropractic profession.
51¸£ÀûÉç College President Dr. Edwin Cordero says this transfer agreement presents an attractive option for students pursuing a career that plays a significant role in health promotion. “51¸£ÀûÉç College is excited to welcome UCB students who are looking for a healthcare career that will allow them to bring principled chiropractic care to their communities and make a difference in the lives of others,” he said.
At 51¸£ÀûÉç, students learn from experienced faculty in a hands-on, individualized learning environment that makes for extraordinary success among graduates. The three-and-a-half year program is focused and rigorous, including one and a half years of internship experience in college’s on-campus Chiropractic Health Center. Chiropractic students engage in all aspects of patient care to develop clinical competency and prepare for practice.
51¸£ÀûÉç College works to establish articulation agreements and pre-chiropractic programs with undergraduate institutions around the world to facilitate admission to its doctor of chiropractic program.
