At Palmer College of Chiropractic, we help our students turn their passion for helping others into a successful career. As the first and largest chiropractic college, Palmer has more successful graduates than any other chiropractic institution. Palmer doctors are prepared for real-world success with a rigorous curriculum and hands-on experience, blending science, art and philosophy. Our graduates feel confident in providing quality chiropractic care to patients. Founded 1897 by Daniel David Palmer, the Doctor of Chiropractic program is offered on the founding campus in Davenport, Iowa (1897); and branch campuses in San Jose, California (1980); and Port Orange, Florida (2002). The College's professional programs are accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education; and regionally by the Higher Learning Commission of North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. One third of all practicing doctors of chiropractic are Palmer graduates. We educate successful chiropractors.
