Accreditation

Accrediting body for the program

Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), the United States council. unverified The accreditation term, the date first accredited and the next review date. The university maintains an Accreditation & Authorizations page; we did not open it in this pass and are not stating a term from anywhere else. The CCE is the authority for status.

Institutional accreditation

unverified The university publishes institutional learning outcomes under an HLC heading, which points to the Higher Learning Commission, but we did not confirm this from the accreditation page itself and are not stating it as fact.

Accreditation action, as the CCE announces it

published The Council on Chiropractic Education’s announcement dated August 8, 2025 (Council meeting July 11-12, 2025) states: The following are final accreditation actions taken by the Council at its Semi-Annual Meeting: It lists Logan University – Logan College of Chiropractic with the action Continued: Following the status review meeting, the Council conducted deliberations and reached a consensus decision to continue the accreditation of the LCOC doctor of chiropractic degree program. https://www.cce-usa.org/uploads/1/0/6/5/106500339/2025-08-08_accreditation_actions_announcement.pdf · checked 2026-10-05 No later announcement listed on CCE’s news pages names this program.

What this accreditation means for licensure in the United States

The university publishes a dedicated Professional Licensure Disclosure page, linked from the footer of every page. That is the instrument this question is answered by, and it is linked from the footer of every page. unverified What it says. We have not opened it, and we will not summarise a licensure disclosure second-hand — a student is licensed by a state board, not by a council or by us. Read it directly, then confirm with the board in the state you intend to practice in. The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards publishes the board-level answer — its Official Directory sets out, board by board, the criteria for obtaining and maintaining a license, including educational requirements and scope-of-practice summaries. See the FCLB entry on the organizations page for what it publishes and where. The licensure page for where this campus is: Chesterfield, Missouri — Missouri licensure →. Studying in a state is not the same as intending to practice there; read the page for wherever you intend to end up, and confirm with the licensing board there. The licensure hub lists every state documented so far.

NBCE pass rates

Published, and the route is confirmed. Findability path: Life At Logan in the main navigation → “Measures of Success (Student Achievement)”, a named item in that menu. The same page is also linked from the site footer under About Logan. Two routes, one in the main navigation and one in the footer of every page.

The page states its goals in the accreditor's terms: The College of Chiropractic will achieve 80% or higher for the four (4) most recent years' NBCE licensing exam rates in accordance with CCE Policy 56, and a separate goal of at least 70% for the two-year average completion rate in accordance with CCE Policy 56. The heading over the data reads NBCE Licensing Exam Success Rates 2022–2025. Page last modified 29 July 2026.

unverified The figures themselves, because they are published as images rather than as text. The rates and the completion rates are each a single image file. They are one navigation click away and they are not selectable, not searchable, and not readable by a screen reader. That is recorded as a fact about the form of publication, not as a criticism of the numbers, which we have not read.

What the board figure measures

unverified Not stated by the university. Logan publishes a goal in the accreditor's terms — 80% or higher for the four (4) most recent years' NBCE licensing exam rates in accordance with CCE Policy 56 — and heads its data NBCE Licensing Exam Success Rates 2022–2025.

Neither statement says what the rate counts. No examination parts are named, no time window is stated, and no route other than examination is mentioned or excluded. What is recorded here is that the measure is not stated, not that it is absent from the university's records.

What each college states under this field name is recorded in that college's own words on its own page, and not restated here. A reader placing two colleges' percentages next to each other may be comparing different quantities, and no college's page says so.

Publishing practice

Publishes components for one representative trimester and no combined total — tuition, fees and each indirect allowance separately. Publishes two housing figures, off campus and living with a parent. Does not publish every term of the program, and does not show the prior year's figures alongside the current ones.

Tuition adjustment notice

unverified No published statement was found on the pages we read about whether tuition and fees may be changed, by whom, or with what notice to students. That is a field, not an absence — ask the university if you are budgeting several years from the figures above.

Student organizations present

unverified Which student association chapters are active, and whether any association membership fee is covered by the university. The university publishes a student life section and a student engagement platform.

Student clubs and organizations

What a student actually does outside class is the part of a program nobody publishes comparably. This section records what the university itself publishes, in its own words. It records the categories of organization that exist rather than listing the bodies we happen to recognize — any one college’s list is already a selection, and a roll-call would privilege the largest names for no reason but familiarity.

How the university publishes it

A live engagement platform, plus published governance rules — a fourth distinct practice. The university runs Logan Connect, a student-engagement platform with a page per organization carrying its own description and events, and states it has 30+ student groups. Separately, it publishes the rules that govern what a student organization may do, in its student handbook.

Categories of organization the university recognizes

In its own words, organizations recognized by the Logan Student Government and the Office of Student Affairs include social, athletic, techniques, health-related, chiropractic, and professional chiropractic fraternal groups. The university also states that if it does not offer an organization of interest, a student may start one.

The categories a college recognizes are themselves a description of what it thinks student life is for, and they are published where a full roster often is not.

What a technique organization may and may not do — published, and unique so far

The university states that technique clubs pose a particular liability question and sets out rules accordingly. In its published handbook:

• Nothing meeting Missouri's statutory definition of the practice of chiropractic — adjusting, manipulative, evaluative, diagnostic or otherwise — may be performed except under the present and direct supervision of a Logan DC faculty member currently licensed in Missouri, with the advisor's knowledge and approval.

• Technique organizations are limited to the general technique categories taught in the core or elective curriculum — the university names HVLA, low force, non-osseous, instrument-assisted and directional preference.

• Any enrolled student may join a technique organization, but only those who have completed or are currently taking the relevant technique class may actively participate as the student doctor in practice and application.

• Information disseminated by a technique organization must be consistent with the principles taught in the technique classes here, and no demonstration may occur without the advisor's knowledge and direct faculty supervision.

• An organization focused on an academic area must have a full-time faculty member in that field as its advisor.

Two things follow that a prospective student would not otherwise learn. First, the range of technique clubs available here is bounded by what the curriculum teaches — a student cannot form a club around a tradition the university does not offer. Second, state law reaches inside the club room: what a student may do in a technique club is defined by Missouri's statutory definition of chiropractic practice, not by the club. See the state licensure layer for how much that definition varies between states.

Recorded as published policy, not assessed. One comparison sharpens what this is evidence of. Parker University runs the same student-engagement platform and states in its handbook that organizations are accountable to a separate Student Organization Handbook — which sits behind its internal login and cannot be read from outside. Same software, opposite decision about the rules.

That suggests the rules exist at more than one college and that the difference is whether they are published, not whether they are held. One comparison is not a pattern, and it does not tell us what Parker's rules say. But it means the honest reading of this section is a college publishing its governance rather than a college having unusual governance. See the Parker page.

Membership cost

unverified Not published. Another college states the distinction directly and it is worth borrowing rather than paraphrasing — Sherman College publishes: “You can join as many clubs as you'd like at no cost, and there's no obligation once you join. Some clubs offer certifications, which may require purchasing learning materials and attending seminars; these usually involve additional commitment.” unverified Whether the same holds here — Logan does not say. Ask the organization, and ask specifically whether a certification sits behind it.

Does the university cover any national membership fee for its students?

unverified Not stated for any organization. Whether any other college publishes such coverage is unchecked.

Open to pre-chiropractic or other-school students?

unverified for outside students. Within the university the answer is published: any enrolled student may join a technique organization, and participation as the student doctor is limited by whether they have taken the class. Membership and hands-on participation are separate permissions.

Which nationally affiliated organizations run here

unverified Not reliably establishable, here or anywhere. Individual organization pages exist on Logan Connect, and the university's own news carries accounts of student groups attending national conferences. A college's list is a snapshot of a given term. The organizations page lists, in each entry’s student block, the college rosters on this site that name the body. If a particular organization matters to you, ask whether a chapter currently runs — and treat that as true of every body equally, not just the largest ones.

How a student joins

Through Logan Connect, which lists organizations and their events, and through the Logan Student Government and the Office of Student Affairs, which recognize organizations. A student wanting something that does not exist can start it, subject to the advisor requirement above. No route here runs through us.
