The Ph.D. in Alternative Therapy is a research-oriented program that investigates non-traditional medical methods such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, and mind-body therapies. The curriculum typically lasts 3-5 years and involves training in integrative medicine, clinical research methodology, and health sciences, as well as a dissertation. Candidates perform extensive research on the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of alternative treatments for a variety of medical diseases. Graduates frequently work in academia, clinical research, wellness centers, or healthcare organizations, helping to promote evidence-based practices, holistic health approaches, and advancing scientific understanding of alternative and complementary therapies.
