The school was founded in New York City as Columbia Institute of Chiropractic by chiropractor Frank Dean in 1919. In 1977, the New York State Board of Regents recognized the college under the name New York Chiropractic College before moving from Manhattan to Long Island three years later. On June 7, 2021, the college changed its name from New York Chiropractic College to Northeast College of Health Sciences, to better reflect its diversification of programs. In 2024, the college established a new branch campus in
Levittown, New York, on Long Island, offering an additional cohort of its Doctor of Chiropractic program. That year, the college also began offering its first undergraduate programs -- AAS and certificate programs -- at its main Seneca Falls campus. ==Academics==
