Flexible Track Option
The phases of the doctor of chiropractic curriculum are divided
into the basic sciences (Phase 1), clinical sciences (Phase 2) and
internship (Phase 3). It will take a minimum of four trimesters to
complete either Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the curriculum.
We know that the majority of students will successfully handle
this rigorous load. However, we recognize that some students may
have family, employment or other personal issues that may affect
their ability to complete the first two phases in an effective
manner. So, National University offers a flexible track option to
meet those individual needs.
Rather than completing Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the curriculum in
the standard four terms, students may opt for either a five- or
six-term track to complete the phase. Each track is designed to
follow the required prerequisite sequence of disciplinary courses,
as well as the cross-disciplinary corequisites. The total number of
credit hours remains the same regardless of the number of terms
needed to complete the phase, so there is therefore no additional
tuition expense associated with the flexible track. However, once a
student starts the term in either the five- or six-term track, they
are obligated to complete the entire phase in that track.
