The College of Naturopathic Medicine curriculum follows a sequential course of study in which students continuously build upon a deepening foundation of biomedical and clinical sciences. Concurrently, students are integrating naturopathic philosophy, principles, and therapeutics into their medical knowledge.

Students are admitted as a cohort and are expected to follow the curriculum as it is structured. At the completion of the program, students will have met the following requirements for graduation:

• Demonstrated competency in the didactic and clinical portions of the program
• Satisfactory completion of a thesis paper

The naturopathic program, including all graduation requirements, must be completed within seven (7) years of matriculation.
