In addition to the formally-structured accelerated (3-year) and full-time (4-year) programs, the NCNM offers a Student-at-Large program. Student-at-Large status can be an ideal option for several different types of student:

1. Those students desiring an introduction to Naprapathic studies before making the decision to enroll in a degree program.
2. Those who desire to pursue the DN degree, but would prefer to "work at their own pace" instead of committing to an accelerated or full-time program.
3. Current Naprapaths or other health care professionals desiring a "refresher" course in a particular are of the basic or Naprapathic sciences.
