Life West Accreditation Re-affirmed and Extended for Eight Years through year 2011:

Life Chiropractic College West is pleased to announce the reaffirmation of its accreditation 
for a period of eight years by the Commission on Accreditation (COA) of the Council on 
Chiropractic Education (CCE). Life West President Dr. Gerard W. Clum related the 
decision of the COA from the site of the COA's hearing in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 
January 10, 2003 reaffirmation represented the last step in a two-year process that involved 
a detailed institutional self-study and an on-site four-day, six person accreditation review. 
As a result of the process, Life Chiropractic College West is accredited to award the Doctor 
of Chiropractic degree by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic 
Education.  The reaffirmation process was a routine re-evaluation conducted by the agency. 
Life West has held status with the CCE since 1987 and was last reaffirmed in 1995.

There was a misconception in the profession that Life West's accreditation was in jeopardy 
along with Life University's status. That was not the case. Life West continues to meet and 
exceed accreditation standards and provide a strong, subluxation-based chiropractic 
education.  Check the Life West webpage: through year 2011 or the CCE webpage:
