Southwest College Of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences

Established in 1992, the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Heath Sciences is ideal for those who wish to pursue a career in naturopathic medicine. Located in Tempe, Arizona, this four-year college offers doctoral degrees in the art and science of naturopathic medicine. Following an overwhelming demand in naturopathy, the institute recently established a non-degree coursework program as well. In association with the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, SCNM offers its students with the opportunity to earn a master’s degree in acupuncture and oriental medicine simultaneously.

The Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Heath Sciences is home to over 15 clubs and organizations, including the Student Government Association and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, among others. The college publishes three online newsletters, SCNM Now, The Insider and Alumni News.
