About Cleveland University-Kansas City
First opening its doors in 1922 as a chiropractic college, Cleveland University-Kansas City has since expanded its degree offerings to give students other career options in life sciences and healthcare fields. The school promotes core values that any student should expect to practice in a medical career, some of which include integrity, excellence, diversity, teamwork and well-being.
Distance learning provides a path for students who may not be able to come to campus regularly.

A large number of the online courses are designed to help you meet general education requirements. A master’s program, fully online, sets you up to be a health educator.
