At its core, Chiropractic is a philosophy of health, a science of the nervous system and spine, and an art of helping people regain their health naturally. The Mission of the College of Chiropractic is to educate, mentor and graduate contemporary and compassionate Doctors of Chiropractic, based on a model of Vertebral Subluxation. The College establishes an environment demonstrating the expression of University core values; to embody Vitalism, nurture the standard to live an exceptional life of Integrity and be of service to the world.

The combination of sciences, philosophy, practice management and real-world clinical applications in Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic program gives students an engaged curriculum that one could only describe as exceptional.

Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree is a rigorous, 14-quarter program that typically takes students four years to complete. Students begin their chiropractic studies learning the foundational aspects upon which the profession is built – the history, philosophy and science of Chiropractic.

As they progress beyond the first two quarters, students study the basic sciences while also beginning to learn about chiropractic analysis, techniques and examinations. Once students reach the Eighth Quarter of the program, they enter the clinical phase of study and apply their lessons to real-world situations. Students nearing graduation take practice management courses and clinical application, working in outpatient settings.

Life University Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) students now have access to the William M. Harris Center for Clinical Education. This is an educational center that was completely remodeled in 2017. It houses a 23-room Assessment Center with state-of-the-art LearningSpace Technology. Life University has switched to Anatomage tables in the Virtual Anatomy Lab for anatomy classes. The Anatomage tables allow students the option to hit “reset” on their work and to learn at their own pace. LIFE currently has more Anatomage tables than any institution on the planet.

Whether they choose to practice in fast-paced urban environments, create comprehensive community wellness centers or team up with nonprofits to bring chiropractic care to underserved communities, graduates of Life University’s College of Chiropractic will emerge as:

• Skilled doctors who enjoy meaningful, purpose-driven careers that help people receive personalized care and achieve new levels of health.
• Entrepreneurial professionals equipped with the techniques and skills to be practice-ready before graduation, whether they work in clinical settings, pursue careers in research or start their own practices.
• Vitalistic visionaries and whole-body health advocates who seek to impact how society views health and wellness.
