Northeast College and Pitt-Bradford Announce All New Educational Partnership
Northeast College of Health Sciences and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford have announced an enhanced educational partnership, featuring new articulation agreements that provide students with pathways to Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, saving both time and money.

The partnership allows students in select majors to join a 4+3 articulation track, earning their bachelor’s degree from Pitt-Bradford and a Doctor of Chiropractic from Northeast a year faster than completing each degree separately—while securing guaranteed admission to Northeast. Students majoring in biology, chemistry, environmental science, exercise science, physical sciences, pre-chiropractic, pre-nutrition, pre-veterinary medicine or any program of emphasis (POE) are eligible.
“We’re excited to partner with the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford to support academic excellence, leadership and continued learning,” said Dr. Michael Mestan, president of Northeast College of Health Sciences. “This collaboration highlights our interprofessional focus, and we look forward to welcoming Pitt-Bradford students who are ready to reimagine health and pursue their doctorates at Northeast.”
Dr. James Baldwin, vice president for enrollment management at Pitt-Bradford, said, “This new partnership gives our graduates a great regional option to keep learning and earn a doctoral degree. Northeast has a strong history and is one of only 20 accredited chiropractic schools in the country.”
The agreement was formally signed by Baldwin, Pitt-Bradford President Richard Esch and Vice President for Enrollment Management 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.
