The following programs have met the rigorous standards of accreditation as determined by the Council of Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). The CNME is recognized by the US Department of Education for accrediting 4-year naturopathic medical schools.

Graduates of CNME programs are eligible to take the Naturopathic Physician Licensing Exam (NPLEx) as provided by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners. The NPLEx is a rigorous 3.5 day exam covering basic and clinical sciences.  Graduation from CNME recognized schools and passing marks on NPLEx are required for licensees in most licensed states and provinces.
