Healing is what you were born to do. 

Pursue your passion by helping others heal through chiropractic. Our 3.5-year, 10-term Doctor of Chiropractic degree program prepares practice-ready leaders in integrative healthcare.

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.

The student body at SCU is unique. Everyone is open-minded and willing to talk to you and help you out. I love that I have found my main group of friends who have become my life support. I am also in numerous clubs, which have helped with networking and support; a great community to be a part of.
