CCE Accreditation Update from the President
It is important for me to spend some time addressing questions and misinformation surrounding our Council on Chiropractic Educa-
tion (CCE) reaffirmation of accreditation for the DC program. First and foremost, the University is very proud that the CCE had the
confidence in National to reaffirm our accreditation for an 8-Year Cycle.
While the CCE identified areas for improvement in the public sanction of the DC program, none of those concerns are related to the
quality or level of the education of our students. As the University continually works toward improvement, new processes to evidence
student achievement are put in place. The CCE has asked the university to supply more data on two of our new processes. In a forth-
coming visit this fall, we look forward to providing the council with additional data on these new processes to satisfy the request.
National’s chiropractic medicine students continue to achieve high pass rates on the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners
(NBCE) board exams, despite what might have been implied by the comments in some of the negative publications recently surfacing.
Recent changes to the CCE Policy 56, despite its intention to accurately inform the public, affords for the misrepresentation of our stu-
dents’ actual pass rates. In the current iteration of Policy 56, students that did NOT take the exam are required to be reported as failing
the exam.
The majority of our Illinois campus students, historically, have sought to practice in Illinois. Until 2016, those students were not re-
quired to take Part IV of the NBCE exams. Although current graduates are required to take parts I, II, III, and IV for Illinois licensure,
the obligation for reporting pass rates for Policy 56 requires a four year average. As such, NUHS is required to include data from 2014
and 2015 that represents graduates who did not take Part IV, as it was unnecessary for licensure. Although these students did not take
the exam, as per CCE policy, they must be included in the calculation as failing the exam. Obviously these statistics are misinformed.
Please rest assured that National students that actually take the NBCE exams pass at a rate well above the CCE benchmark.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to call my office at (630) 889-6604.
