Pre-professional studies at Mount St. Joseph University are courses of study prepared by expert faculty members that supplement your existing major and better prepare you for a career as a health professional.

 

Pre-professional studies offer dedicated guidance from faculty members in the Department of Biomedical & Natural Sciences and School of Health Sciences Health Sciences to help tailor your course work so that you are better prepared to pursue an advanced degree. 

 

Career outlook

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that from 2008 to 2018, 26 percent of all new jobs created in the U.S. economy will be in the health care and social assistance industry. This industry is expected to grow by 24 percent, creating four million new jobs.

 

Chiropractor

Chiropractors focus on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractors believe that health can be improved and preserved by making adjustments to structures in these systems, particularly to the spinal column.

 

Pre-Chiropractic

The Mount’s pre-chiropractic area of study prepares you well for an accredited, four-year chiropractic program that will lead to a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree. Recommended majors for pre-chiropractic students at the Mount include chemistry, biology and biochemistry.
