What many don’t know is that after founder Dr. Howard retired from National University, he later worked for Dr. Lindlahr as a dean in one of Lindlahr’s first schools in Chicago. Furthermore, in 1926, National University actually absorbed the Lindlahr College of Natural Therapeutics, and granted the degree in natural therapeutics (the forerunner to the naturopathic medicine degree) from 1927 – 1952. In the early 1950’s, the program was dismantled under federal pressure that also caused the closure of other naturopathic programs across the nation.
Today, you can once again earn the ND degree at National University, which launched its current naturopathic medicine program in 2006. True to its roots, the program is uniquely traditional with a strong focus on teaching naturopathic precepts, clinical theory and the basic principles of naturopathic medicine coupled with a strong foundation in primary care. We are confident that National University will continue to achieve new milestones in naturopathic history well into the future.
