Agreement shortens time to six years for joint Westminster-Logan degrees

Students will be able to secure a joint bachelor of science degree and a doctor of chiropractic degree one year sooner under a new agreement between Westminster College of Fulton and Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield.

The agreement is scheduled to be signed Tuesday at Chesterfield.

The 3+3 articulation agreement enables qualified students to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree from Westminster and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in just six years, one year less than traditional study time required for the Doctor of Chiropractic degree program.

Westminster President George B. Forsythe of Westminster and Dr. J. Clay McDonald, president of Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs, are scheduled to sign the agreement Tuesday.
