If you are in a program now → The student-facing view of this layer: which parts you sit and when, alongside the specialty routes and what a practice act governs in a technique club.
Every school page on this site says what a program's accreditation means for licensure and then stops, because the answer is not the college's to give. This is the layer that answers it: what each state board actually requires, in identical fields, sourced to the board's own site.
Accreditation is a national question. Licensure is a separate question in every state and territory, and the answers differ in ways that change what you have to sit, what you may treat, and what you must do, and how often, to keep practicing. No college can answer them, because no college sets them.
New York’s Office of the Professions: applicants must successfully complete the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Parts I, II, III and IV.
and (The NBCE "Physiotherapy" exam subject is not required for New York State licensure.)
(op.nysed.gov, license requirements, read 8 October 2026). Florida’s board: Successfully complete the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners certification examination in Parts I, II, III, and IV, and the physiotherapy examination,
in addition to the Florida Laws and Rules Examination*
, with a score approved by the board.
(floridaschiropracticmedicine.gov, chiropractic physician, read 8 October 2026).
What to do: ask the board in the state where you intend to practice which parts it requires.
Every field is sourced to the board, or to the state's own statute or regulation, and carries its own source link and the date it was checked. A field the board does not address says not published; a field we could not reach says unverified and what was attempted. Absence in what we checked is not absence at the board. Nothing is inferred from another state, from a college, or from a continuing-education vendor or test-prep site.
The jurisdiction. Puerto Rico is a territory with its own regulator and is labeled as one.
The board's name as it writes it, and its own site.
The act and the rules the board operates under, each with a link to the state's own text.
What the board or the law requires of your chiropractic degree and of any education before it.
What you may do as a student, or as a graduate not yet licensed, and under whose supervision, as the board or the law states it. Supervision conditions are quoted, never summarized.
Which National Board parts the board names.
The exam the board names, or none published.
Whether a law, rules or jurisprudence exam is required, as the board states it.
What the board or the law states the practice includes.
What the board or the law states is excluded. Quoted, never summarized: a condensed version of an exclusion is where a summary costs somebody their license.
Hours, cycle and required subjects, as the board states them.
Whether a license from elsewhere gives you a route in, in the board's own words.
A plain summary of the fields above for that jurisdiction, adding nothing to them.
The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards publishes a record for each board at fclb.org. It is linked here and is never a source for a field: its site returns HTTP 403 to us, so nothing it publishes can be read, stored or checked against the board's own text.
Each page answers the same fields for one jurisdiction. They are listed alphabetically.
Southern California University of Health Sciences publishes a Doctor of Chiropractic location in Tempe, Arizona, and the accreditor's listing for that program names Whittier, California. The two disagree and that is recorded as it stands.
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming have no page yet. The absence of a page means we have not done that sourcing pass, and says nothing about the jurisdiction.
Canadian licensure, including Ontario, where Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College sits, is outside this layer. Canadian chiropractors are licensed by provincial regulators, a different system from the state boards here, and it would need a block of its own.
The business of practice. What each jurisdiction’s statute, administrative rules and board publish about running a practice — advertising, titles, prepaid care, discounts and inducements, record retention, assistants, ownership and telehealth — is on the business of practice, quoted as published and dated, jurisdiction by jurisdiction and topic by topic.
The accreditor's Policy 56 requires public disclosure of student performance on national board examinations. Compliance is universal — every program we checked publishes the data. So the disclosure itself is not the variable. What varies is whether you can find it, and nobody measures that.
Start with what each college calls it, because that is what you would have to search for:
| College | The college's own title for the item |
|---|---|
| Logan | Measures of Success (Student Achievement) |
| Northeast | Consumer Information & Right to Know |
| Life | Student Achievement |
| Life West | CCE Policy 56: Program Learning Outcomes & Student Achievement |
Four colleges, four names for the same required disclosure. A student who learns the phrase at one college cannot search for it at the next. One names the policy; one names a federal consumer-information duty; two name student achievement, and only one of those puts the examination in the title.
That makes any count of clicks a floor rather than a measure, because a click count assumes you already know what you are looking for. With that stated, here is where each one lives:
Logan — in the main navigation under Life At Logan, and again in the footer under About Logan. Northeast — in the footer of every page, then a section within that page; its own program page signposts the same destination. Life — under About, with a second route from its federal-compliance page. Life West — under About, inside a Policies & Disclosures list, alongside the annual security report and federal relief-fund reporting.
Two colleges publish something about the data that the data alone does not tell you. Northeast publishes the composition of its own denominator — the figure counts graduates passing the US board's four parts, or the Canadian board's three components, or who supplied proof of licensure in lieu of examination performance. Logan publishes its rates as image files, which are not selectable, not searchable and not readable by a screen reader. That is one college's practice, and one instance is not a pattern; it is recorded as what it is.
Three of the seven are not established. Parker and Sherman both publish the data — Sherman in a dated document, Parker on a public-disclosure page — and we did not establish the route or the title for either. For Palmer, what searching returned was a state regulator's filings for a campus the college has since closed, rather than the college's own disclosure. That is itself a findability fact: the performance data this search returned under the college's name was filed by somebody else, about somewhere it no longer teaches.
Seven of nineteen colleges were looked at; four routes established, three not. No claim is made beyond that, and nothing here ranks these colleges. What to do with it: if you cannot find a college's board data, the word you are searching for is probably not the word it used. Try the policy number, try consumer information, try student achievement — and if none of those work, ask the admissions office for the Policy 56 disclosure by name.
The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards is the body whose members are the boards themselves. Its Official Directory collects, board by board, the criteria for obtaining and maintaining a license — educational requirements, scope summaries, fees and licensure statistics. It is linked from these pages and is never a source for a field on them. See the FCLB entry →
Board examination fees themselves — $710 each for Parts I, II and III, $1,585 for Part IV and $450 for Physiotherapy, read 5 October 2026; the NBCE’s fee schedule prints no total — are set out on the earnings page, because they are neither tuition nor federal debt and almost nothing else in this profession accounts for them.
