Introduction
Few health careers are as flexible as that of the chiropractic profession. Typically, a chiropractor is self-employed, so for students who love helping others and making a good income but also want to keep their options open when it comes to hours and location, a chiropractic career can be an ideal destination. Take the first step to getting there at MTSU.
