Alternative medicine promotes health and well being by restoring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. A degree in alternative medicine prepares students for a career in one of the many healing disciplines. These include naturopathy, nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, and yoga.
Depending on their interest and career goals, students can pursue certification or enroll in an undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral degree program. Most certificate programs are introductory in nature, but there are many designed for practitioners wishing to specialize. Individuals interested in practicing alternative medicine must earn a master’s degree and fulfill state regulation and licensing requirements. Since these vary among disciplines and states, students are strongly encouraged to research these requirements.
