Attend a Discovery Event

Whether you’re early in your journey and learning more about chiropractic or already know this is your path and are working through the details, Life West Discovery Events are designed to foster conversations with students, faculty and practicing DCs. We want to help you find the answers to your questions and Discovery events are a great way to do that.

Campuses

Two amazing locations. One amazing education.

Maybe you’re drawn to The San Francisco Bay Area, its proximity to some of the most amazing geography on earth and its West Coast weather.  Or, perhaps the charm, seasons & cost-of-living in the Midwest is the perfect fit for you. 

Hayward, California or Bellevue, Nebraska, you won’t go wrong whichever Life West campus you choose. Both will give you an amazing education and a great experience.
