Northeast College of Health Sciences is a private alternative health college in Seneca Falls, New York. It is one of 20 accredited chiropractic programs in the United States.[2]
History
The school was founded in New York City as Columbia Institute of Chiropractic by chiropractor Frank Dean in 1919.[3] In 1977, the New York State Board of Regents recognized the college under the name New York Chiropractic College before moving from Manhattan to Long Island three years later.[3] In 1989, unable to expand in Long Island, Northeast purchased the former Eisenhower College campus in Seneca Falls, New York. After two years of renovations, the college moved to the 286-acre Seneca Falls campus in 1991.[4]
On June 7, 2021, the college changed its name from New York Chiropractic College to Northeast College of Health Sciences, to better reflect its diversification of programs.[5][6][7]
In 2024, the college established a new branch campus in Levittown, New York, on Long Island, offering an additional cohort of its Doctor of Chiropractic program.[8] That year, the college also began offering its first undergraduate programs -- AAS and certificate programs -- at its main Seneca Falls campus.[9]
Academics
In addition to a Doctor of Chiropractic program, the college offers graduate programs in clinical nutrition, diagnostic imaging, anatomy, and human anatomy & physiology instruction.
Undergraduate programs include AAS degrees in diagnostic medical sonography and radiologic technology, as well as a certificate in massage therapy. [10]
Outreach and partnerships
The college runs community clinics in Seneca Falls, Depew, and Levittown, New York.[11] They also provide massage therapy services to student-athletes from Syracuse University.[12]
The school is affiliated with Veterans Hospitals in Syracuse, Buffalo, Canandaigua, and Bath, New York, as well as Miami, Florida.
