Cleveland University-Kansas City College of ChiropracticDoctor of Chiropractic program in Overland Park, Kansas

Other names. Cleveland University-Kansas City College of Chiropractic was formerly named Central College of Chiropractic and Cleveland Chiropractic College. It goes by CUKC. All of these names refer to the same accredited program.

In its own words. On its program page, CUKC says: “We emphasize that the body is a self-regulating and self-healing organism.” (Cleveland University-Kansas City’s own page, checked October 20, 2026). That is the program’s description, not ours.

Federal debt and earnings. The U.S. Department of Education does not report a median debt or earnings figure for this program; it suppresses figures for small cohorts to protect privacy. That is not a judgment about the program.

Licensure in Kansas

Kansas does not have a standalone chiropractic board. Doctors of chiropractic are licensed by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which also licenses physicians and several other professions. With an active Kansas license you must carry professional liability insurance of not less than $500,000 per claim and $1,500,000 in annual aggregate, and the board says the application process takes on average four to eight weeks.

This paragraph is taken from our chiropractic schools in Kansas page, where the board’s requirements are quoted in full. Board: Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, checked September 22, 2026. You can be licensed in a different state from the one you study in; the board where you intend to practice is the only authority on what it requires.
