Accredited Schools Overview<\/h1>\n

The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education accredits four-year, primarily campus-based doctoral programs in naturopathic medicine (ND programs) that qualify graduates for licensure in the U.S. and Canada. CNME does not accredit online ND programs, and these programs do not qualify individuals for licensure.<\/p>\n

Accreditation is a voluntary process that ensures schools are providing a rigorous, standards-based education that combines traditional natural health knowledge with modern medical training. Schools are required to meet a prescribed set of standards before being accredited and must be reviewed for reaccreditation at least every seven years. The standards are made publicly available, and can be viewed in the CNME<\/em> Handbook of Accreditation<\/em><\/a>. Graduates from CNME accredited schools\/programs are eligible for licensure in U.S. states and Canadian provinces that regulate naturopathic doctors.<\/p>\n

Public Notice: The CNME Board of Directors voted at its meeting on May 16, 2025, to issue a show cause<\/em> sanction to Bastyr University\u2019s ND program due to the institution\u2019s non-compliance with CNME Accreditation Standard III (\u201cPlanning and Financial Resources\u201d), Sections B1 and B2 (\u201cInstitutional Financial Resources\u201d). For information on the show cause sanction, refer to pages 25 – 26 of the January 2024 edition of the CNME Handbook of Accreditation for Naturopathic Medicine Programs<\/em>, a copy of which can be downloaded from the CNME website.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initial CNME accreditation was granted to the ND program in April 1987 and last reaffirmed in October 2019. A comprehensive evaluation visit for reaccreditation of the program took place in June 2024, and the CNME Board of Directors\u2014at its meeting on October 31, 2024\u2014placed the program\u2019s accreditation status on probation and deferred a decision on the reaccreditation of the program for a period of six months, during which time its current accredited status remains in place. At its May 16, 2025 meeting, the CNME Board of Directors decided to continue the deferral of reaccreditation of the ND program at the same time it issued the show cause sanction noted above, which replaces the previous probation status.<\/p>\n

The university has institutional accreditation with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, a U.S. Department of Education-recognized institutional accrediting agency.<\/p>\n

In February 2021, the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM) merged into a single, combined naturopathic institution under the name Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Initial CNME accreditation was granted to CCNM’s ND program in September 2000 and last reaffirmed in May 2020. The next full-scale evaluation is scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027, with a decision on continued accreditation to be made in spring 2027.

Candidate Programs<\/h1>\n

Note that candidacy, sometimes referred to as \u201cpre-accreditation,\u201d precedes accreditation. Candidate ND programs are similar to accredited programs: they meet the same standards as accredited programs, and their graduates are eligible for licensure in the U.S. and Canada. Candidate programs have five years in which to achieve accreditation.<\/p>\n

Initial accreditation of BINM\u2019s ND program was granted December 2008, and reaccreditation was last granted October 2019 retroactive to May 2018.<\/p>\n

In February 2021, the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM) merged into a single, combined naturopathic institution under the name Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. The merged institution will continue to offer ND programs at both the CCNM campus in Toronto, Ontario, and at the former BINM campus in New Westminster, British Columbia, which is now is a branch campus of CCNM. Both of the ND programs retain their CNME accreditation status in accordance with the CCNM accreditation cycle.<\/p>\n
