Life University

[EduCativ]

Everything on campus is interconnected and linked to the overall vitalistic beliefs of the people who live, study, teach, and work here.
Located in historic Marietta, a suburb of Atlanta, the Life University campus offers the benefits of a big city along with the benefits of a serene outdoor environment. Whether you are looking for the energy of an engaged campus community or the ability to escape in nature on our wooded campus, LIFE has the perfect mix of both. All of our campus activities and resources are centered around a health and wellness lifestyle based on each student's individual goals, investment, and focus.
The LIFE community is a unique, close-knit family that inspires each other to explore new opportunities, challenge the system, and discover the untapped potential.
Recognizing that well-balanced students are infinitely more prepared for life after college, Life University offers opportunities for student involvement to express themselves, contribute to their talents and develop new friendships and relationships both on campus and in the community. Life University offers various clubs and organizations which you can join. There is something for everyone, from nutrition clubs and organizations to sports clubs and from Student Council to chiropractic technique clubs.
The SSC strives to enhance the student learning experience by providing services that will enable the student to develop competencies to enrich their educational experience, contributing to the student reaching their goals and achieving excellence.
We are pioneers leading the vitalistic health revolution. Life University is a unique place where students can feel empowered to break molds, pursue new ideologies, and strive for excellence in the areas where their passions lie. LIFE provides its students with opportunities to learn, disrupt, and impact the world around them.
If you value small classrooms, industry thought leaders as professors, a health and wellness lifestyle, and a green, nature-centric campus, then Life University is the place for you. It is home to almost 3,000 like-minded students worldwide who believe in a shared purpose and vision.
As the leader in vitalistic healthcare education, Life University strives to empower its students to succeed professionally and personally based on its vitalistic philosophy. At LIFE, we innovate our approach to higher education while also remaining true to our philosophical commitment to producing informed leaders who exemplify humanistic values in their professions. To achieve this goal, LIFE recognizes and demonstrates its dedication through several applied philosophies.
LIFE's Eight Core Proficiencies further students' dedication to personal integrity and provide a cornerstone for professional success, social contribution, and cultural change. A uniquely LIFE-oriented philosophical approach is its guiding principle of Lasting Purpose: To Give, To Do, To Love, To Serve – Out of a Sense of Abundance, which recognizes that everyone – student, faculty, and staff alike – must share their gifts with the world.
LIFE also fosters students' commitment to their full potential and peak performance in their educational pursuits and future professional lives through healthy habits that create a flourishing world community.
Participating in campus recreation activities and programs is a great way to stay involved, physically and socially, on campus with students, faculty, and staff. In the past, our department has offered programs and activities such as intramural basketball, flag football, and soccer, as well as off-campus trips like white water rafting, hiking, Braves Games, and to see the Atlanta Hawks play at Phillips Arena.
The PAR Center at LIFE serves as a support center to faculty and provides testing services for national, professional certification and distance examinations to students and other examinees. We are available to assist all faculty who wish to have their exams copied and scored and provide training and equipment for those interested in operating the copier and PAR Score program themselves. As a public service and for our students, we contract with other universities and testing companies to administer tests following the National College Testing Association's Professional Standards and Guidelines.
The mission of Life University is to empower each student with the education, skills, and values needed for career success and life fulfillment based on a vitalistic philosophy. Life University takes all student and consumer complaints very seriously. The University works with students to resolve all complaints in an expeditious, fair, and pleasant manner. The complaint process allows students to discuss academic and non-academic concerns or register formal complaints or grievances. This process can also be used to address alleged violations of State consumer protection laws that include but are not limited to fraud and false advertising, alleged violations of State laws or rules relating to the licensure of post-secondary institutions, complaints relating to the quality of education, or other State or accreditation requirements. Post-secondary institutions participating in federal student financial aid programs are required to maintain formal grievance procedures.
The idea for Life University was conceived among a group of prominent chiropractors led by Dr. Sid Williams during several retreats in Ormond Beach, Florida. The discussion centered on the need for a principled and vitalistic-based chiropractic college in the Southeast.
In 1975, Life Chiropractic College opened its doors using half of what was, at the time, the Georgia Unemployment Office. Twenty-two students attended the first classes in January 1975. Since that "Day-One class," the school has grown both in enrollment and physical space, acquiring land and buildings and constructing new facilities. Currently, Life University occupies 110 acres of property on the northwest corner of Cobb Parkway (US 41) and South Cobb Drive (US 253) in Marietta, Georgia.
By 1990, under the leadership of the founder/president Dr. Sid Williams, Life College had grown to become the world's largest chiropractic college. In 1996, Life College expanded its degree offerings to include an undergraduate school and became Life University.
