Northeast College of Health Sciences is a private alternative health college college in Seneca Falls, New York. It was previously named Columbia Institute of Chiropractic and New York Chiropractic College, before being renamed in 2021. 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]

Northeast formerly had a partnership with the addiction treatment program, Bridge Back to Life,[5] founded by neurologist and addiction medicine specialist, Russell Surasky.[6]

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.[7] [8] [9]

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.[10] That year, the college also began offering its first undergraduate programs -- AAS and certificate programs -- at its main Seneca Falls campus.[11]

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. [12]

The college also runs community clinics in Seneca Falls, Depew, and Levittown, New York. The school is affiliated with the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and Veterans Hospitals in Syracuse, Buffalo, Canandaigua, and Bath, New York, as well as Miami, Florida.
