About Northeast
Uncompromising Excellence Since 1919.
Northeast College of Health Sciences is among the best academic institutions in the country, providing outstanding healthcare education for more than 100 years.

A History of Excellence.
Dr. Frank Dean founded the Columbia Institute of Chiropractic (CIC) in 1919, first located in a small brownstone in Manhattan, New York, USA. In the 1950s, CIC grew through a merger with the Atlantic States Chiropractic Institute.
In the 1970s the Columbia Institute became New York Chiropractic College (NYCC), moved to Long Island, was granted an absolute charter by the New York State Board of Regents, and received accreditation of its Doctor of Chiropractic degree program by the Council on Chiropractic Education.
In 1991, NYCC moved its campus 300 miles northwest to the site of the former Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of central New York state.
Beginning in 2002 a dramatic academic expansion resulted in the addition of graduate degrees including diagnostic imaging, applied clinical nutrition, clinical anatomy and human anatomy and physiology instruction. A baccalaureate degree completion program and various certificate programs round out the College's offerings.
The College also established the first-ever chiropractic residency in a Veterans Administration hospital. Success of this pilot program led to the establishment of five residency sites in VA hospitals across the country. Northeast serves as academic affiliate for two of these sites.
Beginning in 2010, the College embraced online education, offering several M.S. degrees entirely online. NYCC celebrated its 100th birthday in 2019, and officially became Northeast College of Health Sciences in 2021.
