Transfer & Articulation Agreements

Articulation Agreements

Articulation Agreements are formal agreements between two or more colleges and universities to accept credits in transfer toward a specific academic program.

The University of Western States maintains articulation agreements with a handful of undergraduate colleges and universities. These agreements are designed for students who intend to pursue their chiropractic education at UWS and want to receive a degree from their undergraduate institution.

If your school is not listed, please contact the admissions office for details on how we might add your undergraduate institution to this list.

Current articulation agreements:

Avila University, Kansas City, MO

Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck and Madison, NJ

Portland State University, Portland, OR

Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR

UWS DC credits are transferred back to the undergraduate institution to fulfill requirements for completion of the bachelor’s degree, thus allowing a student to complete their baccalaureate degree and doctor of chiropractic degree in one less year than the normal time to complete each degree individually.
