Liza, >> Bastyr is not the only legitimate naturopathic college around. > >Well, I'm curious, which others do you think are worthwhile? And >why? I'm not really qualified to address which ones are worthwhile, but I think the one in Portland (National College of Naturopathic Medicine, I believe) is considered pretty much on a par with Bastyr. I think that Arizona and New England also now have naturopathic schools with programs similar to Bastyr's. What I meant by "legitimate" is that they aren't diploma mills, but real schools with real teachers and students who attend on campus for four to five years to get a degree which qualifies them to be licensed in 13 states (last I heard--there may be more states now). Folks who got an N.D. "degree" from a diploma mill can't be licensed anywhere, as far as I know. Mark [log in to unmask]
