Once a single purpose chiropractic college, National?s academic programs in natural health care now encompass chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, oriental medicine, massage therapy, and chiropractic assistance. To all of its academic programs, the 103-year-old institution brings its long-standing reputation for innovative leadership, high academic standards, and outstanding faculty and alumni.
National's goal is to develop, encourage and promote collegiality among members of the complementary and alternative professions and allopathic medicine rather than compete with each other. Currently, NUHS is one of only two institutions in the U.S. to combine chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, and oriental medicine on one campus.
Bringing these professions together gives NUHS students the unique opportunity to participate in integrated learning situations and develop a collegiality with those in other professions of natural healing. They are able to dialogue together, share collaborative research and clinical care opportunities, and prepare to take a leading role in mainstream health care.
National believes in ?hands-on? education, integrating extensive technique, anatomy and diagnostic lab experiences into each of its professional programs. Students are also given the opportunity to work in real patient care and research settings, and develop the skills they will use in their future careers.
In addition, students are prepared for the business and practical realities of a professional career. Business management, ethics and practice-building skills are incorporated into each program. Classes are taught by experts in their field who provide the nuts and bolts of setting up and running a practice, billing and insurance issues, ethically promoting a practice, and working effectively with other health care providers and managed care organizations.
National admits new students in January, May and September. To help ensure their success as health care professionals, students in the College of Professional Studies are required to have earned a bachelor's degree in the arts or sciences from an accredited college or university with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and have completed specific science courses.
Students who have not completed their baccalaureate degree may enroll in the NUHS Bachelor of Biomedical Science Degree completion program. It is designed for students with a two-year/associate's degree or 60 semester hours of general education credits, who wish to earn a bachelor's degree to prepare for a career in science or health care.
Students, who have an undergraduate degree in non-science majors, or those who fall short of the required science credit hours to meet National University admission requirements, may enroll in the NUHS Prerequisite Program. Under this program, students can finish the prerequisites in an accelerated format during two eight-week mini-terms prior to starting their doctoral program.
National University is located in the western suburbs of Chicago on a 35-acre campus, which includes teaching and research laboratories, student housing, a fitness center, Learning Resource Center, and a health care center that includes acupuncture, naturopathy and massage therapy clinics.
