Logan University

Logan’s academic identity orbits around its flagship Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program, which anchors its reputation. But the university has expanded into seven degrees, including a Master’s in Strength and Conditioning and Nutrition programs, all steeped in evidence-based practice. The curriculum leans heavily on clinical immersion—students train in Logan’s on-site health center and benefit from an anatomical donor program emphasizing ethical practice.

• Top 4 chiropractic college nationally (per Logan’s marketing)
• 7 degree programs, including online options
• Science-driven pedagogy: No remedial courses; rigor starts Day 1
• New programs in development via partnerships with Hanover Research

With just 272 undergraduates (fall 2023), Logan fosters a tight-knit, club-driven culture. Over 30 student organizations dominate campus life, from technique-specific chiropractic clubs to Greek chapters. The vibe is professional yet spirited—think anatomy study groups followed by intramural volleyball. The suburban St. Louis location means quieter weekends, but students praise the clinical access (world-class clinicians mentor daily) and hands-on learning (e.g., cadaver labs).

• 30+ clubs, including professional societies and social groups
• Gender split: Data suggests a balanced male/female ratio
• No traditional dorms—commuter-heavy, with apartments nearby
• Facebook posts highlight org fairs and technique workshops

Logan’s outcomes are a mixed bag. While 88.35% of 2019 graduates found relevant work within nine months (per internal data), graduation rates are alarmingly low—near "bottom 5% nationally" according to Research.com. The median salary six years post-graduation is $42,378, on par with many liberal arts colleges but below STEM-heavy peers. Chiropractic graduates likely fare better, but the university doesn’t disaggregate by program.

Logan actively promotes scholarships and federal aid—its financial aid office aggressively helps students tap external funding. Still, the sticker shock is real, especially given the spotty graduation rates. The net price calculator hints at need-based discounts, but details are sparse.

• No published debt stats, despite aid focus

Logan carves a niche as a chiropractic powerhouse with expanding health sciences offerings. Its clinical rigor—cadaver labs, patient rotations—prepares students for licensure exams better than most. Yet its low barriers to entry and struggling graduation metrics raise questions about support systems. Ideal for career-focused students who thrive in hands-on environments, Logan rewards self-starters but may frustrate those needing structure. Its 90-acre campus and 30+ clubs compensate for a lack of traditional college frills.
