Chiropractors go through an immense amount of schooling to receive a "Doctor of Chiropractic" degree (also known as a D.C.). Their collegiate agenda is as follows:

- Graduate from a four year college.
- Completing at least two years undergraduate study, with a focus on the sciences.
- Four years of Chiropractic Education.
- Take mandatory internships.
- At least 900 hours of work in a Chiropractic Clinic.
- After graduating, pass written and oral board exams, at national and state levels.
