Programs
Accreditation + CCE
Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) program is fully accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), ensuring that your education meets the highest standards in chiropractic training, clinical competency and professional ethics. As one of the world’s leading institutions for vitalistic chiropractic education, Life U consistently exceeds accreditation benchmarks while preparing students to thrive. Our graduates are skilled, mission-focused and ready to lead.
Life University reported strong 2025 CCE/NBCE board results, with 87% of graduates passing all four National Board Exams within six months, exceeding the national 80% benchmark, highlighted by an impressive 93.4% first-time pass rate for Part IV in November 2025, with overall results expected to surpass 90%
PEAK Clinical Program
The PEAK (Practice, Excellence, Art and Knowledge) program is a program designed to allow senior interns to complete their clinic requirements under the direction of an off-campus doctor.
The doctor has qualified to become a Life University Extension Faculty member and serves as a mentor to help the intern not only develop clinically, but also prepare to make the transition from school to practice.
The PEAK Program is for student interns in their 13th or 14th quarters of study, in good academic standing and having passed the 12th quarter OSCE exam. Doctors of Chiropractic are credentialed through an application process to become a PEAK Doctor. The student intern works with the PEAK Doctor to provide patient care and fulfill other assignments given by the PEAK Doctor. Students are a participating team member of the clinic and a valuable part of the practice team. Interns perform history examinations, diagnoses and X-rays; provide chiropractic adjustments; and complete a Learning Objective Worksheet each week.
In many other programs, student interns mostly just observe a practice. This is clearly not the case in the LIFE PEAK Program. This experience allows the intern to gain valuable insights into the nuances of running a profitable practice and the rewards of providing quality chiropractic care. The PEAK Doctor acts as a mentor to the intern, helping to bridge the gap between the classroom, the college clinic and private practice. In many cases, the PEAK Doctor is not only a facilitator in the student intern’s development, but also becomes a lifelong mentor.
