Located in the Chicago suburb of Lombard, the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) offers a traditional four-year path to the ND degree, or students can choose a more flexible curriculum. Students who choose “flex” options complete the first phase of their curriculum (foundation courses) in five or six terms rather than the traditional four (NUHS operates on a trimester system). Flexible curricular options allow working students to complete the NUHS ND on an extended schedule with no additional tuition costs.
