One of the most distinctive features of the curriculum is the influence of the college's world-renowned founder and president, Dr. James W. Parker. For over 45 years, Dr. Parker, through the seminars of the Parker School for Professional Success (PSPS) now called Parker Seminars, taught thousands in the chiropractic profession his success principles. These principles are included in Parker students' education.

The course of study is a four-year academic program condensed to three (3) calendar years of nine (9) trimesters.
