LOGAN COURSEWORK:
A minimum of 30 credit hours of Logan first-year coursework must be completed with a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.00 on a scale of 4.00.  A maximum of 30 credits from the first year chiropractic curriculum at Logan University will be transferred to MWSU and applied toward completion of the 120 credit hour BS – Biology/Health Science degree at MWSU.

For every subject required by Logan (either offered by MWSU or Logan), no grade below a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will be accepted for credit in this articulated program.  In addition, all 3+3 Program students must have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 for the 90 credit hours at MWSU to be considered for admission. Students who earn less than a 3.0 GPA, but at least a 2.75 or higher, and satisfy core competencies described in the Council on Chiropractic Education’s Doctor of Chiropractic Program Requirements for Institutional Standards, may be eligible for admission to Logan at the discretion of the Vice President of Enrollment Management, and will receive appropriate consideration in the standard admission process for having completed the MWSU Pre-Chiropractic Program.  Such students will not receive the assurance of a seat reserved for students earning a 3.0 or higher GPA and will be assessed under an alternative admission track. Students will complete an “Application of Intent” as early as possible in the undergraduate career and an application to Logan six months to a year in advance of their desired entrance date.
