Question
I am interested in becoming a chiropractor and was wondering what major to choose if the college of my choice does not have pre-chiropractic as an option. I also intend to go to medical school after attending a 4-year undergraduate school. Does it really matter which major I pick or would you suggest something in biology, for example?
Hello Sheila,
Yes, it does matter. You definately want a school which has a pre-med. program, this is required by the chiropractic schools. If you get your bachelors of science, I would go with human biology or a science based field, you need your bachelors in order to become a doctor.
Good luck with school, let me know if you have any more Q's.
