One option is to receive their Doctor of Naturopathy after they received their bachelor's degree. The other one is going for the Master's Degree, then Ph.D. in Naturopathy.
Is the Doctor of Naturopathy for a person who wants to practice it and receive their N.D. degree? Is the Ph.D. degree for a person that wants to teach, do research, and practice it?
If I went for the Doctor of Naturopathy, am I considered a Naturopathic practitioner? Would I have to let people know that I am not a doctor and just practicing alternative medicine?
If a person went for there Ph.D. would they be addressed Dr. (Last Name)? Even though I would not be a medicine Doctor. Is there a state exam that Naturopathic students must take after they are done with the cirriculum?
