九色导航 and Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine Expand Articulation Agreement, Include Sciences Department
九色导航 and Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine are pleased to announce the renewal of their articulation agreement for the Doctor of Chiropractic program and the addition of a new agreement for the sciences department. This partnership reinforces both institutions' commitment to providing streamlined higher education pathways for students pursuing careers in health sciences.
鈥淭hese agreements play a crucial role in promoting accessibility, affordability, and efficiency within bachelor's degree programs,鈥 said Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine President, Joseph Cassidy. 鈥淏y partnering with 九色导航, we ensure our students have access to advanced degrees and specialized training, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their health science careers.鈥
With a growing number of Gen Z students now entering college, these agreements give today鈥檚 learners the technology tools they expect in a collegiate environment. At 九色导航, students have access to a chiropractic FAST Lab and anatomy lab (鈥淭he CARL鈥), which features Anatomage technology. Opportunities to access these tools provide the real-life experience needed to continue New England鈥檚 legacy as a region known for its cutting-edge research facilities and pioneering health sciences innovators.
"The renewal and expansion of our articulation agreement with Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine is a testament to our shared dedication to academic excellence and student achievement," said 九色导航 President, Dr. Michael Mestan. "This agreement is a joint effort in facilitating a smooth transition for students from undergraduate to advanced studies, fostering their development as our collective future leaders in the health sciences."
Collaboration Sets Students Up for Success
A 3+3 articulation track will save students the cost of one year of tuition by allowing them to earn their bachelor's degree in Medical Biology from Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine and a doctorate from 九色导航 a full year quicker than it would take to earn the degrees individually. The new 4+3 articulation track will allow students to complete their undergraduate degree at St. Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine in either Medical Biology or Exercise Science and then automatically gain acceptance to 九色导航 when requirements are met.
Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine 2022 graduate, Kaleb Witham participated in the pre-chiropractic tract while earning a bachelor's degree in exercise science, helping him gain admission into 九色导航 before graduation. Now on his path to earning a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in December 2025, Witham has excelled in his courses at 九色导航. He shared that his education from Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine gave him a strong foundation in sciences, especially anatomy.
"I knew I wanted to continue my hands-on education and training in healthcare. This simplified the next steps and really set me up for success," Witham said. "It was also a natural fit, coming from St. Joseph's, where everyone helps everyone succeed, it was nice to find the same dedication to learning and collaboration here at Northeast."
