Founded in 1941, Northwestern College of Chiropractic (NWCC) is a visionary school whose innovative ideas and practices have led, and will continue to lead, generations of chiropractic doctors to the forefront of their profession. Northwestern's basic sciences, clinical, chiropractic and business education is excellent in preparing students to pass the National Boards and successfully enter clinical practice.

For more than six decades, excellence has been nurtured and inspired at Northwestern College of Chiropractic. The international reputation we have earned has been created in large part by our approach to educating our students.

Northwestern has pioneered an extraordinary and unique clinical experience, with a University public clinic system, more than 150 community-based private-practice clinics, and final term preceptorship opportunities around the world. The University's public clinic system records more than 65,000 patient visits a year, making Northwestern the largest provider of natural health care services in Minnesota.

Northwestern's Doctor of Chiropractic program is a full-time day program consisting of more than 4,300 contact hours over 10 trimesters. The University admits new chiropractic students in January and September of each calendar year. Classes are held Monday through Friday.
