Students enrolled in the OTU Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) degree in Kinesiology have the opportunity to accelerate their academic program of study to complete both their undergraduate and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degrees in seven years instead of eight. The OTU-CMCC Academic Pathway allows students to specialize in Rehabilitation during their undergraduate studies, and transition to their professional degree in chiropractic after their third year at OTU.
Interested students enter the Exercise Science or Health and Wellness specialization in Year II of their BHSc program at OTU and declare their interest in the Pathway. During that same year, they will meet with CMCC faculty, staff and students to learn more about the DC program and a career in chiropractic. In January of second year, students submit their application for advanced entry admission to the DC program – and if successful in the admissions process, they will receive an early offer of admission to begin their chiropractic studies upon completion of their 3rd year at OTU.
Instead of enrolling in 4th year at OTU, students then come to CMCC with transfer credit for three courses in the DC program. After four years of intensive study, students then receive 30 transfer credits from OTU for their chiropractic studies, and are awarded both the BHSc (Honours) and DC degrees in 7 years instead of 8.
Students interested in exploring this exciting academic pathway should consult with their Academic Advisor in the OTU Faculty of Health Sciences or visit the OTU Kinesiology Program for more information.
