Cleveland Chiropractic College is located at 10850 Lowell Ave, Overland Park, Kansas, United States.

History
In 1922, Dr. C.S. Cleveland Sr. and Dr. Ruth R. Cleveland, husband and wife started Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City with three students. As the next generation of doctors of chiropractic, their son, Carl Jr., and his wife, Mildred Allison, assisted in the growth of the profession and the College. Ratledge College was founded in 1908 in Guthrie, Oklahoma,[citation needed] and moved to Los Angeles, California in 1911.[citation needed] It came under the leadership of the Cleveland family in 1950 and was renamed Cleveland Chiropractic College of Los Angeles in 1955.[2]
Today, the grandson of the founders, Dr. Carl S. Cleveland III, is continuing the tradition as president of the multicampus Cleveland Chiropractic College system. A fifth generation chiropractor, Dr. Ashley Cleveland, serves as multicampus provost.[citation needed]
On March 3, 2011, Cleveland Chiropractic College system president, Dr. Carl Cleveland III, announced the decision of the Board of Trustees to cease operations at Cleveland Chiropractic College-Los Angeles, with its official closure done after the summer trimester of 2011 ending in August 2011. With students in good academic standing able to be transferred into the other three chiropractic schools, LACC, Life West and Palmer West. With the School reaching an agreement with LACC allowing the good standing students to transfer in and graduate on time still. Some students who did not agree with the transferred opted to transfer to Life West, Palmer West, Parker University, NYCC, Palmer Florida, Palmer Iowa, Northwestern College, Logan, either due to choice of students or because they failed to be in good standing.
