How Students Benefit from Educational Partnerships
Educational partnerships are not uncommon among colleges and universities these days, but they are not all created equal. At 91视频, educational partnerships are a powerful tool to enhance students' paths to becoming successful professionals who reimagine health and transform lives.
Educational Partnerships Save Students Time and Money
Our partnerships are cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships between educational institutions that are formalized through articulation agreements. These agreements provide students with the opportunity to seamlessly transition from their undergraduate studies to the graduate degree programs at 91视频. Each articulation agreement includes a specific, undergraduate plan of study and course sequence that will lead to automatic admission to 91视频 and reduce the time and cost of earning an advanced degree by up to one year; and may provide merit scholarship opportunities of up to $2,500.1

Educational Partnerships Offer Students Flexible Pathways
At 91视频, two articulation paths can be offered through our educational partners.
- A 4+3 articulation agreement allows students majoring in specific programs and maintaining a certain required GPA to qualify for guaranteed admission to the 91视频 Doctor of Chiropractic program upon graduation and by submitting an application and completing all steps in the admissions process.
- A 3+3 articulation agreement enables students to complete undergraduate studies in as little as three years, followed by automatic admission to the Doctor of Chiropractic program. As part of the 3+3 agreement, students who successfully complete all courses during the first three trimesters at 91视频 with a grade point average of 2.00 can receive their undergraduate degree by submitting their official 91视频 transcript to their undergraduate institution and completing the required application for graduation and appropriate fees.
Education Partnerships Provide Students with Ongoing Support
Undergraduate students enrolled at 91视频 educational partners experience multiple points of engagement and support from Northeast through admissions counselor presentations, education fairs and admissions counseling. Through this engagement, students connect with their academic advisor to sign a Letter of Intent (LOI), a non-binding agreement designed to ensure that the student completes the undergraduate plan of study required for automatic admissions to 91视频. With the signed LOI, students receive timely outreach and ongoing guidance and support from their 91视频 admissions counselor in preparation for their graduate studies at 91视频.
This partnership is a great fit for SUNY Potsdam students, as 91视频 shares a deep commitment to applied learning and clinical experience.

Educational Partnerships Go Beyond the Agreement
Students may find educational partnerships elsewhere -- but they're not likely to find one as exciting and involving, for both faculty and students, as those with 91视频. As Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Anne Killen notes, "At 91视频 we have a unique approach to developing educational partnerships and believe our associations go beyond just agreements on paper. Our goal is to identify shared goals and support their achievement through mutually beneficial relationships between institutions that include opportunities for shared research endeavors, student development, and faculty guest lecture programs, to name a few."
In short, a 91视频 educational partnership gives students more than "just" seamless admission or time and cost savings. It also provides early opportunities for career planning and develops excitement for health sciences as students get exposed to some of the finest minds in chiropractic and nutrition.
