Application Procedures for Admission to Texas Chiropractic College

Texas Chiropractic College's academic year consists of three terms or trimesters (fall, spring and summer) with classes beginning each trimester in September, January and May. Students may apply to any of these terms, however, the bulk of the students apply to the fall term.

Admission Requirements and Process

Texas Chiropractic College uses 'rolling admissions' whereby, students are processed for admissions on an individual basis for any trimester. Traditionally, it is preferred that students have a cumulative 2.75 grade point average, with a 2.5 grade point average in the science pre-requisite courses. Students, who may be marginal in any of these areas, are encouraged to contact the Office of Admission to discuss their specific situation. Arrangements for a personal interview may be made by contacting the Office of Admission by telephone at 1-800-468-6839 or 281-998-6007; or electronically at admissions@txchiro.edu.
