Palmer College of Chiropractic is where chiropractic began. It was founded by the discoverer of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer, in 1897 in the Mississippi River town of Davenport, Iowa. With three campuses to choose from, Palmer is the leader and the largest chiropractic college in the profession and offers the highest-quality chiropractic education.

The main campus is located in Davenport, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest and just a few hours from Chicago. The Davenport Campus is where students can walk in the footsteps of chiropractic’s founders. In addition to having excellent faculty and the largest chiropractic research facility in the world, in summer 2007, the Palmer Academic Health Center opened, featuring a state-of-the-art outpatient clinic as well as first-rate clinical learning resources for students, faculty, researchers and alumni.

Palmer’s West Campus is in San Jose, Calif., part of California’s Bay Area and close to the sights, sounds, entertainment and culture of San Francisco. The campus was founded in 1980, and features a diverse student body and faculty with expertise in sports chiropractic, research and technique.

The Florida Campus is located in Port Orange, Fla., a thriving resort community of 50,000 near Daytona Beach. The newest Palmer campus, it was founded in 2002, and features a beautiful, state-of-the-art environment. It is the first chiropractic campus in Florida and the fastest-growing chiropractic program in the United States.

At Palmer, you will learn from the best to be the best. You will learn a wide variety of chiropractic and diagnostic techniques from the world-renowned faculty who wrote the textbooks used in many chiropractic colleges. You won’t be “just a number” at Palmer with a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1 or better. If research interests you, you’ll be able to learn from chiropractic researchers at the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research who are actively performing leading-edge studies and are published in prestigious, peer-reviewed healthcare journals.

The Palmer curriculum is a graduate-level program that is typically completed in a little more than three calendar years but is equivalent to a five-academic-year program. It leads to a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree. Students may earn a D.C. degree at all three Palmer campuses.

Palmer students have opportunities for hands-on learning in both the classroom and clinic settings early in the curriculum. Outside the classroom, there are countless opportunities to attend seminars, join technique clubs and participate in other continuing education programs.
