 To meet government criteria the CCE passed measures for its associated schools to require incoming students to have completed at least two years of prechiropractic college, and revised their educational standards to meet the expectations of higher education.On August 26, 1974 the United States Commissioner of Education officially listed the CCE as a "Nationally Recognized Accrediting Agency".This followed the support of the organization's accreditation petition by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards.
