Students and graduates of programs accredited or preaccredited (candidacy) by CNME are eligible to apply for the naturopathic
licensing examinations administered by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE), and are generally eligible
for state and provincial licensure in the U.S. and Canada

Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) and The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges

to therapy with an emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness. The beautiful campus is home to
the Southwest College Research Institute (SCRI), and the Southwest Naturopathic Medical Center is located in nearby Scottsdale.
