In 1941, Northwestern College of Chiropractic opened with a vision and three students.  Eighty years later, we celebrate where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

We can’t celebrate without you: the faculty, staff, students, donors, and partners who contributed to our mission of advancing health care for all. You can share your photos and memories, join the conversation on Facebook, explore NWHSU history in the timeline below, and celebrate at events throughout the year (keep an eye on your email).


Northwestern Health Sciences University has proudly expanded on the legacy of our founders: with 11 fields of study and more than 7,500 graduates. NWHSU serves our community through academic programs, patient-centered clinics throughout the Twin Cities, and our retail center. And we are just getting started.
