National University of Health SciencesDoctor of Chiropractic program in Lombard, Illinois

Other names. National University of Health Sciences was formerly named National College of Chiropractic and National School of Chiropractic. The Council on Chiropractic Education lists it as National University. It goes by NUHS. All of these names refer to the same accredited program. Sources: nuhs.edu history timeline, checked October 20, 2026; nuhs.edu history timeline, checked October 20, 2026; CCE directory, checked October 12, 2026; nuhs.edu, checked October 20, 2026.

In its own words. NUHS describes its program as “an evidence-based, broad-scope curriculum emphasizing integrative medicine” (National University of Health Sciences’s own page, checked October 20, 2026). That is the program’s description, not ours.

Fees, books, equipment, housing and living costs are separate unless the program says otherwise, and the program’s own cost-of-attendance page is where it publishes them. To see every program’s figure in its own unit, side by side, read what chiropractic school costs.

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 Illinois

Illinois does not have a standalone chiropractic board. Chiropractors are licensed as chiropractic physicians by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, under the Medical Practice Act. You must list every National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and state-constructed examination you have taken, with all attempts, and everyone applying for an initial license must submit to a criminal background check with fingerprint processing through the Illinois State Police.

This paragraph is taken from our chiropractic schools in Illinois page, where the board’s requirements are quoted in full. Board: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, 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.

Chiropractors and students from National University of Health Sciences on the ChiroTrack podcast

No recording is listed here yet. ChiroTrack’s interview series ran from 2020 to 2024, and a guest is named on a page about their school only after they have said yes to it. That consent round has not gone out yet, so this list is empty for every program, not only this one.
