Life Chiropractic College West is a private chiropractic school in Hayward, California, US, known for its Doctor of Chiropractic degree program. Founded as Pacific States Chiropractic College in 1976 by George E. Anderson, the name was changed in 1981 to its current form after a merger with Life Chiropractic College (now Life University).[1]

A 2024 report found that students in Life's doctor of chiropractic program had the tenth highest debt-to-income ratio among graduate programs in the US, at 490%.[2][3]
