"(2) a public or independent bachelor's level institution chartered before 1962 whose major campus and headquarters are located within South Carolina; or an independent bachelor's level institution which was incorporated in its original charter in 1962, was granted a license to operate in 1997 by the Commission on Higher Education, has continued to maintain a campus in South Carolina, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, or an institution that offers a doctorate of chiropractic degree program, was founded in 1973, is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Commission of Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education, and is located in South Carolina.
