Pre-Chiropractic Program

Scott Community College
  
Program Description
Scott Community College and Palmer College of Chiropractic, are working together to offer a "Joint Admissions Program".
 
Scott Community College (SCC) should be your first stop before heading to Palmer College of Chiropractic. Scott offers a real advantage, with classes designed specifically for future Palmer College students.
 
The two colleges have had a formal transfer agreement since 1979 when Palmer College relinquished its liberal arts curriculum to Scott Community College. This collaboration has allowed each institution to better concentrate on their academic specialties, resulting in a more beneficial education for the student of chiropractic.
 
Transfer & Joint Admissions Agreements
Our transfer agreement allows students who follow the prescribed outline of courses and successfully complete our pre-chiropractic program to transfer directly into Palmer College of Chiropractic.

In addition, students taking advantage of our Joint Admissions Agreement can be accepted for admission at both colleges, simultaneously. This increases your level of comfort with Palmer and assists you in completing admission, housing and financial aid information.
 
You'll also begin receiving information on sports and cultural activities associated with Palmer, and can attend those social activities and feel a part of campus life immediately. 
  
How the Program Works
Students applying to Clinton, Muscatine or Scott Community College should complete and submit the EICCD application for admission along with an official high school transcript.
 
After admission to Clinton, Muscatine or Scott, complete and return the Application for Joint Admission and return the application to Palmer College.

The Application for Joint Admission may be completed any time prior to earning 30 semester hours (sophomore status). You will be required to meet with the campus Articulation Coordinator. 
  
The final decision for acceptance at Palmer will be made by Palmer's admission's department. 
  
Palmer will mail you a notice of acceptance into the Joint Admission Program. Program requirements will be outlined and you will be given instructions on how to maintain your eligibility.
 
Before your last semester at Scott Community College, send an Application for Admission to Palmer. (We strongly recommend that you apply a year ahead of your enrollment date.)
 
The program requirements for a bachelor's degree at Palmer you will attend after Clinton, Muscatine or Scott will be those in effect at the time you are accepted into the Joint Admission Program. (For specific guidelines, contact Palmer's Admissions Office.)
 
Talk to an advisor to see how you can get started on your four-year degree plan.
