Words you will meet below. DC is Doctor of Chiropractic, the degree the US programs here award (what the path is). CCE is the Council on Chiropractic Education, an accrediting agency for Doctor of Chiropractic programs (its entry). A college on trimesters divides its year into three terms; one on quarters divides it into four. Credits (or credit hours) are the units colleges count courses in. Didactic means classroom teaching, as against clinic. Clinic, clerkship, internship, practicum and preceptorship are names programs use for training with patients, in a clinic or a practice.
Absence in what we checked is not absence at the college.
