Accredited Chiropractic Colleges

The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) is an autonomous national organization recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education as the authority on the quality of training offered by chiropractic colleges.

In addition to establishing accreditation criteria for the education of primary care chiropractic physicians, CCE ensures the quality of chiropractic education in the United States by stimulating educational excellence within its member programs and informing the educational community and the public of the nature, quality and integrity of chiropractic education.

Certain requirements must be met before accreditation status can be initially received, or renewed. The CCE Standards for Chiropractic Programs include criteria for assessment and planning in areas such as governance and administration, facilities, services and policies, instructional program objectives and content, faculty qualifications, admission requirements, outcomes assessment, clinical competency, and research.

CCE is a member of the CHEA International Quality Group and the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA).

Below is a listing of CCE-accredited programs and sites. In addition, CCE accredits several chiropractic residency programs.
