New Northeast–Stockton Partnership Creates Faster, More Affordable Paths to Chiropractic and Nutrition Degrees
Northeast College of Health Sciences and Stockton University in New Jersey have announced a new educational partnership, creating articulation agreements to save students time and money while securing their admission to Northeast College.

The partnership allows Stockton University students majoring in health sciences or participating in any Program of Emphasis (POE) to opt for either the 4+3 or 3+3 articulation tracks while pursuing the Doctor of Chiropractic program at Northeast.
The 3+3 articulation option saves students the cost of one year of tuition by allowing them to earn their undergraduate degree at Stockton and -- when the required GPA has been maintained -- be automatically accepted to Northeast. The 4+3 articulation option allows students to complete their undergraduate degree at Stockton University and then automatically gain acceptance to Northeast when requirements are met.
"Collaborations with colleges and universities play a vital role in Northeast College’s mission to expand access to graduate education," said Northeast College President Dr. Michael Mestan. "We’re excited to partner with Stockton University to create these new pathways for students eager to transform lives and look forward to welcoming them to campus.”
The agreement also provides a 3+2 articulation option for Stockton students to apply to Northeast’s master’s in Applied Clinical Nutrition program.
“This partnership with Northeast College of Health Sciences exemplifies Stockton University’s commitment to providing our students with innovative, affordable pathways to rewarding careers in healthcare,” said Dr. Michael Palladino, Stockton University’s provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “By streamlining the journey to a Doctor of Chiropractic and a master’s in Applied Clinical Nutrition, we are empowering our students to achieve their academic and professional goals more efficiently, while maintaining the highest standards of excellence.”
The new articulation agreement was formally signed by Palladino and Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at Northeast, Amie Redmond, M.S., C.A.S. With guided support from both institutions, students avoid spending time and money on unnecessary coursework and begin their path to Northeast by submitting a Letter of Intent, signed by their undergraduate advisor.
