Texas Chiropractic College was organized and founded by a pioneer chiropractor, Dr. J. N. Stone, in 1908 in San Antonio. On April 16, 1913, the College received its first charter from the state of Texas and became known as the Texas Chiropractic College. The administration, location, and charter of the College changed several times in its early history in San Antonio. The Texas Chiropractic College Foundation, Inc., was established in 1955, and the administration was reorganized giving the new Board of Regents full responsibility for the College’s policies and programs. In 1965, due to substantial growth, TCC moved from San Antonio to Pasadena, Texas, a suburb of Houston. In 1976, TCC launched the first-of-its-kind Preceptorship Program, offering students a distinctive field practicum experience. In 1985, the College further positioned itself as a first-choice institution when it initiated its Hospital Rotation Program, placing TCC interns together with experts in sports medicine, family medicine, surgeons, orthopedists, and neurosurgeons in area hospitals, including the world-renowned Texas Medical Center.
TCC continues to invest in the student experience by providing the best faculty to educate future chiropractors. The faculty are not just teaching in the classroom at TCC… they are engaged with the student body. They are active in service to the chiropractic profession and their own fields of expertise. They are participating in multiple areas of research. And many continue to expand their own knowledge base through the pursuit of additional degrees and certifications.
