An Overview of NUMSS Admissions to Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy (BSc (Ost)) Program
Thank you for your interest in our English language, online, on-demand, accredited Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy – BSc (Ost) degree program. Our Admissions department is eager to help you in any way we can. We invite you to contact us at (admissions@numss.com) and ask us any questions you may have. The video lectures are available on-demand online through internet or they may be watched on a TV screen by using a portable hard drive that could be shipped to students. Students from every corner of the world are eligible to apply and study at the comfort of their homes. However students who wish to practice osteopathic techniques under supervision of an osteopath have the choice of attending an optional week long, in-person practical technique class at following locations in the United States, Spain and Panama. The practical class is optional and not part of the program meaning students can graduate without attending the practical class.
The BSc (Ost) degree is evaluated and approved by the California University Foreign Credential Evaluation and Validation Corp (in New York). It is also legalized by the Spain Ministry of Justice and Spain Ministry of External Affair. It is accepted by professional osteopathy associations including the American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, International Osteopathic Association and College of Registered Manual Osteopaths (Canada) that awards the title of RMO (Registered Manual Osteopath) which provides the ability to bill most private health insurers in Canada.
