State licensing requirements are always subject to change at the discretion of the state licensing board. The College of Naturopathic Medicine will routinely update this page, but we strongly recommend you inquire with the applicable state board to confirm your eligibility for licensure prior to enrolling in the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program. For any questions regarding licensure, please contact the state/territory agency directly.
