Palmer College of Chiropractic meets current and future student needs with campus realignment


In 2022, the Palmer College of Chiropractic Board of Trustees voted unanimously to phase out the College’s West campus located in San Jose, California. After thoughtful consideration, and as a proactive business decision, the campus ceased operations in June 2025 when its building lease expired.


“The most strategic higher-education institutions constantly evaluate changing business environments to increase the value of their degrees,” said Trevor V. Ireland, D.C., chairperson of the Palmer College Board of Trustees. “They review who they serve and make smart, proactive decisions focused on strengthening their institutions and wisely investing their resources.”


Palmer West students were given the opportunity to finish


their degrees at Palmer West through March 2025. Eligible students also had the option to attend Palmer’s Main Campus or Palmer Florida. The final Palmer West graduation was held in March 2025.


“A culmination of challenges, including the escalation of the building lease, the high cost of living, the employment market, and the College’s cost to deliver the program in California compelled the decision to phase out the West campus,” said Ireland. “This difficult decision was made after thorough due diligence.”


“Palmer College leads the chiropractic profession and sets the standard for real-world preparation for successful careers in chiropractic,” said Dennis Marchiori, D.C., Ph.D., Palmer College Chancellor and CEO. “We're confident the needs of current and future students are best served by focusing on the unparalleled opportunities that exist on Palmer’s Main and Florida campuses.”
