I got my degree at WSCC in 1980. My education was excellent, and has served me well. WSCC is one of the "broad scope" schools, and prepares their students to be part of the entire health care universe. If the DC degree is ever to be the true equivalent of the MD, it will be through the type of education WSCC offers.
