º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø

Welcome to º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø!

º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø College began its proud history as Columbia Institute of Chiropractic, founded more than 100 years ago in a small Manhattan brownstone. In 1991 we moved to our beautiful 286-acre campus in Seneca Falls, New York, and today we are proud to be º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø.

Over the years, the College – like the healthcare profession – has greatly evolved and expanded, offering degrees in areas such as nutrition, anatomy and physiology instruction, and of course, chiropractic. Here we’ve created an environment totally dedicated to healthcare. Our students learn both online and on a campus tailored to helping them follow their calling to heal. They gain the evidence-based knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to reimagine health and transform lives.

In these ways and many others, º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø carries on its important work: educating the healthcare professionals that our world clearly needs, now more than ever.

º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø College of Health Science is dedicated to learning, healing, and doing, and to pursing those passions with uncompromising excellence. As has been true for more than 100 years already, and will remain true for another 100 and beyond, we are proud to follow our mission of commitment to academic excellence, leadership and professional best practices.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Mestan, D.C., Ed.D.
President, º¬Ðß²ÝÉçÇø
