It was established in 1974 by chiropractor Sid E. Williams. In addition to undergraduate and graduate programs in health and wellness-oriented fields, Life University is best known for its Doctor of Chiropractic degree program. It is the largest single campus chiropractic college in the world[1] and claims that vitalism is its guiding philosophy.[2] Life University centers their philosophy, including clinical training, around the vertebral subluxation complex. HistoryLife University was founded in 1974 by Dr. Sid E. Williams as Life Chiropractic College. The school was established on the site of a placer gold mine, next to Southern Technical Institute (later Southern Polytechnic State University and now Kennesaw State University - Marietta Campus). 22 students attended the first classes in January 1975.[3] In 1989 the name of the school was shortened to Life College, as the school recently had opened an undergraduate program and was no longer purely chiropractic. This undergraduate program allowed Life to establish an intercollegiate athletic program. By 1990, the school had grown to become the largest college of chiropractic in the world.{{cn|date=August 2018}} In March 2004, Dr. Guy Riekeman, former Chancellor of the Palmer Chiropractic University System, was appointed as the President of Life University.[3] In 2017 Dr. Rob Scott took over as President of the university and Dr. Riekeman became Chancellor.[4] AcademicsLife University is divided into two colleges: the College of Chiropractic (D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic) and the College of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies (A.S. Computer Information Management, Coaching Psychology, and Health and Wellness; B.B.A. Business Administration; B.A. Positive Human Development and Social Change; B.S. Biology, Biopsychology, Psychology, Computer Information Management, Culinary Nutrition, Dietetics, Exercise Science, General Studies, Health Coaching and Nutrition; M.S. Sport Health Science, Clinical Nutrition and Positive Psychology; and M.A.T. Athletic Training).[5][6][7] Life University offers a curriculum for pre-chiropractic that is not a degree program but may lead to an undergraduate degree, in preparation to enter the College of Chiropractic.[8] Life University's M.S. in Positive Psychology is one of just three similar programs in the entire United States.[9][10] AccreditationThe university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) to award Associates, Bachelors, Masters and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees.[11] The Doctor of Chiropractic degree program of Life University College of Chiropractic is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).[12] The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and Dietetic Internship (DI) Program are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA).[13][14] CampusThe campus is located in Marietta, Georgia on 110 wooded acres. The campus features five miles of walking and jogging trails, an outdoor amphitheater, outdoor seating and study areas, and reflection pools. LEED-certified green housing includes the Village Retreat, apartment-style living on campus. LIFE has restored a 19th-century village and gristmill, located on campus along Rottenwood Creek. The Ian Grassam Treehouse is set amongst the trees and the lake, and serves as a student retreat. The main dining area on campus is Socrates Café, which opened to students, staff, faculty, and visitors in January 2010. The 28,000 square foot facility and outside patio focuses on sustainability initiatives, capable of zero-waste through recycling, biodegrading and composting serving locally and serving organically grown food when possible.[9] Life University has more than 60,000 patient visits at its on-campus outpatient clinic each year.[9] The outpatient clinic provides chiropractic care and wellness coaching. It also hosts a diagnostic imaging center, nutrition service department, as well as a functional kinesiology department and also offers healthcare classes.[15] Campus lifeThere are over 70 clubs and organizations on campus. 51% of the students are female and 49% are male. 38% of Life University's student body are minority students and more than 25 countries are represented by international students.[9] AthleticsLife University teams, known as the Running Eagles, are part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division I level, primarily competing in the Mid-South Conference, effectively in the 2014–15 season.
