Northeast College of Health Sciences in Seneca Falls to make it easier for Canisius students to transfer in

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Canisius University in Buffalo and the Northeast College of Health Sciences in Seneca Falls are collaborating to help students transfer into a chiropractic program at the Finger Lakes school. The collaboration guarantees that Canisius students can seamlessly transition into Northeast’s doctor of chiropractic program, Canisius said in its June 17 announcement. Canisius students need to meet specific program requirements while earning bachelor’s degrees in sports and exercise healthcare or health and wellness. The accelerated 4+3 option enables students to earn their bachelor’s degree from Canisius and doctorate degree from Northeast a full year earlier than it would take to earn each degree separately, “saving students time and money.” In addition, Canisius students are eligible for merit scholarships from Northeast, based on their academic standings, per the Canisius announcement. “With job growth in allied healthcare professions projected to grow faster than average in the next 10 years, Canisius is excited to partner with Northeast College to offer students a clear and accessible pathway to graduate study in chiropractic care,” Karl Kozlowski, professor and chair of the department of kinesiology at Canisius, said in the school’s announcement. “We are honored to partner with Canisius University to create academic opportunities for even more students and provide pathways that will allow them to seamlessly enter our Doctor of Chiropractic Program,” Michael Mestan, president of Northeast College of Health Sciences, said in the Canisius announcement. “We look forward to welcoming Canisius students who want to become future doctors and leaders in healthcare.” The Northeast College of Health Sciences in Seneca Falls was founded in 1919 and focuses on the education and training of health-care professionals. The school offers graduate and undergraduate academic programs in areas such as chiropractic, nutrition, human anatomy instruction, massage therapy, and the imaging sciences.
