Pursue your passion at SCU, a leader in chiropractic education for over 100 years. Your education will include early clinical experience and hands-on training, delivered in a hybrid format. Choose between an accelerated 2 years and 8 months program, or the standard 3 years and 4 months track.

Some of my favorite courses at SCU have to be the chiropractic procedure classes; those are the classes you get to hone in on your chiro skills, your palpation skills and ultimately work on the adjustments that make you a chiropractor.
