Texas Chiropractic College, Sam Houston State University form academic partnership

Texas Chiropractic College and Sam Houston State University entered into an academic partnership Thursday, Dec. 13 at TCC's campus.

According to a TCC press release, "this agreement led to the creation of the Chiropractic Early Admission Program as part of SHSU's Medical & Allied Health Programs, and facilitates the admission and academic transfer of students from SHSU to TCC. This program ensures a seamless transition of students seeking to complete their Bachelor of Science degree from SHSU while at the same time pursuing a Doctor of Chiropractic degree through TCC. The agreement, which is effective immediately, will enable future and current SHSU students to complete both degrees in six years, with the first three occurring at SHSU and the final three at TCC."

Founded in San Antonio in September 1908, TCC is the fourth oldest chiropractic college in the U.S and is recognized as a leader in chiropractic education. TCC is at 5912 Spencer Highway, Pasadena.

Sam Houston State University offers 80 bachelor's degree programs, 59 masters programs and six doctoral programs. Over 18,000 students attend classes at its main campus at 1903 University Ave., Huntsville, satellite campuses at University Park in Houston and The Woodlands Center or through online programs.
