Northeast College of Health Sciences marked a historic start to the Fall 2024 trimester on Sept. 3.
On that day, the college welcomed new and returning students to its renowned graduate programs and newly launched inaugural classes in undergraduate and certificate programs, as well as seated a new cohort of chiropractic students at its new Long Island-based branch campus.
Welcome to Northeast College’s first undergraduates
On Sept. 4, noted a press release, the college’s new AAS in radiologic technology and AAS in diagnostic medical sonography programs ― offering the college’s first terminal undergraduate degrees ― began. The programs were created to fill a growing demand for sonographers and radiologic technologists in healthcare facilities across the country.
Then, Sept. 7, the massage therapy certificate program began; it offers part-time classes on weekends for students to earn their non-credit massage therapy certificate in five trimesters. The program will also prepare students to pass the New York State Massage Therapy Examination.
The three new programs demonstrate Northeast College’s commitment to delivering exceptional and high-quality education while addressing the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, and are held on the Seneca Falls Campus.
“With more than a century as leaders in providing graduate education, and offering 100% online master’s degrees since 2010, Northeast College is thrilled to continue its evolution and provide opportunities to prepare even more students to fill the integrative and in-demand roles in healthcare,” said Northeast College President Michael Mestan, DC, EdD. “We are thrilled to see so many new students eager to become the next leaders in healthcare.”
Growing number of Northeast students living on campus
On Move-in Day, Aug. 30, Northeast College welcomed 150 students to its Seneca Falls campus residence halls. With building names celebrating the Native American history of the college’s home in New York state’s Finger Lakes region ― Huron, Mohawk, Onondaga and Tuscarora ― the living facilities recognize the indigenous tribes of the area.
Students from across the country make up the growing number of residents in Northeast’s on-campus residence halls. As of Fall 2024, the cost of living on campus, including room and meal plan, is $623 per month — about 40% less than the estimated cost of living off campus in the surrounding area. With the addition of its new undergraduate programs, the college expects the number of students choosing to live on-campus to continue rising.
New Northeast College Long Island campus opens
The new Long Island campus of Northeast College, which welcomed its first cohort of doctor of chiropractic students this month, offers the same DC program for which the college is known, adding in even more cutting-edge technology. Customized tools such as Force Sensing Table Technology™, chiropractic adjusting tables and an interactive 3D digital anatomy lab featuring Anatomage tables support coursework and hands-on labs.
First established in a Manhattan brownstone in 1919, Northeast College is proud to return to the New York metro area and continue to make the world’s top chiropractic education more accessible for tomorrow’s healthcare leaders.
