Northeast College and Ramapo College Announce New 3+3 and 4+3 Pathways

Northeast College of Health Sciences in the Finger Lakes region of New York and Ramapo College in New Jersey have announced a new partnership designed to give students a faster, more affordable path to a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

Collaborating to Save Students Time and Money

Through the new articulation agreements, Ramapo College students pursuing a Program of Emphasis can choose either a 3+3 or 4+3 track to complete their undergraduate and graduate studies.

• The 3+3 option allows students to finish undergraduate requirements at Ramapo in three years, then transition directly into Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic program. By meeting GPA requirements, students secure their spot in the program and save a full year of tuition.
• The 4+3 option enables students to complete their bachelor’s degree at Ramapo and then gain automatic admission to Northeast’s chiropractic program, provided all eligibility criteria are satisfied.

“Collaborating with Ramapo College reflects our shared commitment to academic excellence and expanding access to graduate healthcare education,” said Dr. Michael Mestan, president of Northeast College. “We’re thrilled to offer Ramapo students a clear, supportive pathway to successful careers in chiropractic and can’t wait to welcome them into our #NortheastBlue community.”

The new articulation agreement was formally signed by leaders from both institutions, including Amie Redmond, M.S., C.A.S., vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at Northeast. With guided advising and support, participating students can streamline their studies, reduce costs and avoid unnecessary coursework by submitting a Letter of Intent signed by their undergraduate advisor.
