Total annual tuition is $39,516.
Our Title IV Default rate is 0%, which means graduates are well able to pay off loans and practice successfully. This speaks to the ability of our program to prepare you for practice, and it reflects our commitment to your financial success.

Federal programs, such as income-based repayment and loan forgiveness, are available to chiropractic college graduates. With an income-based repayment plan, payments are based on household income and size. With the Pay As You Earn Program, your maximum monthly payment will be 10% of discretionary income for up to 20 years. Loan forgiveness also applies to doctors of chiropractic. If you work for a federal, state, local or nonprofit organization, you may be eligible for loan forgiveness after you complete 120 monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan.
