University of Niagara Falls Canada announces partnership with New York-based Northeast College of Health Sciences
Northeast College of Health Sciences and University of Niagara Falls Canada (UNF) have announced a new educational partnership featuring an articulation agreement that creates streamlined, cost-effective pathways to Northeast’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
This cross-border collaboration—one of many ways Northeast supports Canadian students, who currently make up 20% of the Seneca Falls, N.Y.-based college’s student body—allows eligible students to join a 4+3 articulation track. Participants can earn a bachelor’s degree from UNF and a Doctor of Chiropractic from Northeast one year faster than completing both degrees separately, while also securing guaranteed admission to Northeast. Students majoring in UNF’s Honours Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences (HBSc) program or a program of emphasis (POE) are eligible.
Strong support for Canadian students at Northeast
UNF students who are Canadian citizens are also eligible for Northeast’s Canadian Chiropractic Scholarship, one of more than 500 financial awards offered annually. The scholarship is valued at 30 per cent of their tuition fees.
“We’re excited to partner with University of Niagara Falls Canada to expand educational and leadership opportunities that support academic excellence,” said Dr. Michael Mestan, president of Northeast College of Health Sciences. “This collaboration highlights our commitment to increasing access to outstanding health sciences degrees for Canadian students. We look forward to welcoming UNF students who are ready to advance their education and become part of the future of healthcare.”
“This agreement reflects our deep commitment to creating meaningful pathways that support student success,” said Lisa Zhuo, Director of Global Engagement and Partnerships at UNF. “By partnering with Northeast College of Health Sciences, we’re helping students accelerate their academic goals and fast-track their entry into the health care field, where they can start making a difference sooner.”
The agreement was formally signed by David Gray, Provost and Vice-President, Academic at UNF and Vice President for Enrolment Management at Northeast College, Amie Redmond. With guided support from both institutions, students avoid spending time and money on unnecessary coursework and begin their path to Northeast by submitting a letter of intent, signed by their undergraduate advisor.
