The university was founded in 1974 by Williams as "Life Chiropractic College"[1] on the site of a placer gold mine, next to Southern Technical Institute (later Southern Polytechnic State University and now Kennesaw State University - Marietta Campus). 22 students attended the first classes in January 1975.[2]
In March 2004, Guy Riekeman, the former chancellor of the Palmer Chiropractic University System, was appointed as the president of Life University.[2] In 2017, Rob Scott took over as president of the university and Riekeman became chancellor.[3]
The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, bachelor, master's and doctoral degrees.[4] The doctoral degree program is also accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education.[5] Two programs in dietetics are accredited by the American Dietetic Association.[6]

In conjunction with this commitment is the inherent responsibility for preventing or minimizing any danger to life and/or property resulting from the effects of an emergency. When an emergency occurs, an immediate organized response by University personnel is activated. The Life University Emergency Action Plan (EAP) established the framework within which the University will provide this response. The purpose of this EAP is to define procedures for responding to specific types of emergencies on the LIFE campus.
