Professional Licensure Disclosure

In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education (USDE)Logan University provides information about professional licensure and certification for relevant programs. Logan University is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLCand recognized by the USDE as a Title IV approved institution. The HLC is recognized as an accreditation organization by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the USDE. 

Enrolled and prospective students should refer to the information below to determine if program requirements meet licensure/certification requirements in a given state. Additionally, interested parties can contact licensing boards directly to determine if a Logan program meets licensure/certification requirements.  

It is important to note that requirements for licensure/certification are subject to change. Logan University monitors jurisdictional requirements however, we strongly recommend that students check with state boards before and during enrollment to confirm that they understand and will meet the requirements for licensure/certification for specific programs and jurisdictions.  

For individual professional licensure disclosures, student location is determined by the active local address on file with Logan UniversityStudents are encouraged to update their local address as necessary. 

Doctor of Chiropractic

Logan University’s doctor of chiropractic program (DCP) is accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE). The DCP is designed to meet the educational requirements for licensure in Missouri, as well as other states and territoriesPrior to enrollment, prospective students should review licensure and pre-chiropractic education requirements of the states/territories in which they intend to practice. 

The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) provides information about state licensure and pre-chiropractic education requirements: 

The table below indicates if:  

  • the DCP meets the educational requirements for licensure, 
  • the DCP does not meet the educational requirements for licensure, or  
  • it is not determined that the DCP meets the educational requirements for licensure 

It is important to note that states and territories may not recognize educational programs from other states and territories in the same manner. Therefore, if it is identified that it is not determined that the program meets the educational requirements for licensure, it may, in fact, meet all or a portion of the educational requirements. In such cases, students should contact the licensing agency directly for confirmation. 

Additionally, since the requirements of states and territories can change, students enrolled in Logan’s DCP should regularly check licensure requirements to ensure ongoing eligibility in the jurisdictions in which they intend to practice.
