DAVENPORT, Iowa - The plans of Marycrest International University (MIU) to develop a doctoral program in chiropractic at its sister institution - Teikyo Loretto Heights in Denver, Colorado - have been approved by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The MIU University Colorado College of Chiropractic is scheduled to begin offering courses this coming fall. Dr. Robert Davison has been hired as executive dean of the new program.
Marycrest and Teikyo Loretto Heights are members of the UNITE (University Network for International and Technological Education) Consortium, a group of three U.S. Teikyo-affiliated institutions which enhances institutional effectiveness by sharing curricular, personnel and other resources.
Marycrest College, founded as a woman's Catholic college in Davenport, Iowa in 1939, has graduated thousands of successful professionals in nursing, education, computer science/graphics and social work. In 1990, the University affiliated with the Teikyo University Group.
