Sonoran University of Health Sciences, formerly Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, is a private naturopathic medical school in Tempe, Arizona. Founded in 1993, Sonoran University is one of seven accredited naturopathic medical schools in North America.

History

Originally incorporated as Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences (SCNM) in 1992, Sonoran inducted its inaugural class of naturopathic doctors in 1993. When founder, Michael Cronin, first convened his co-founders Kyle Hawk Cronin, Hugh Hawk, Conrad Kail, Dana Keaton, and Deborah Mainville-Knight, the number of licensed naturopathic physicians in Arizona numbered less than 40. [1]

In 2019, Sonoran University’s Academic Programs added the College of Nutrition and subsequently launched two online Master of Science programs: MS Clinical Nutrition and MS Nutrition Business Leadership.[2] Three years later, SCNM rebranded as Sonoran University of Health Sciences.[3]
