PhD Must be Earned from Doctoral Schools of NHEI, Implementing "Tertiary Education Hierarchy" 
Higher Education is Organised in 3 Stages/Levels: Bachelor to Master to PhD. 
(
The T
hree Academic Bars on each Arms of the Academic Gown).
Many wished to be a PhD holder but taking the degree in Alternative schools that has a Questionable Standard does not add to a good reputation and believable -credential. In principle, admission to a PhD programme generally requires a relevant completed Master's degree. In our Institution, a Doctoral Degree is the prerequisite degree.

Picture
WHO ARE SIGNING YOUR PhD DIPLOMA/TOR?
Since the  Academic Diploma & TOR are Lifetime Credentials of the Graduates.The Degrees of The Graduate School Dean and the other Official Signatories are a valuable asset, and added credence to the document. Hence,the signatory degrees are an important element to appear in the signed documents. A PhD Diploma/TOR  requires an Earned PhD.    It should not be Honoris Causa.

THE AGE OF THE INSTITUTION IS ALSO IMPORTANT IN YOUR CREDENTIAL
IBMS-IMSIM Diploma/Academic Transcript (TOR), also bear the Number of Commencements when your earned your Doctoral Degree (or any degree) . The years are indicated in the Documents. 

​PhD-IM PREREQUISITE DEGREE:  Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) or Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (NMD) or its Equivalent

TAKING DOCTORAL RESEARCH-BASED DEGREE IN A SCHOOL THAT ACQUIRES INSTITUTIONAL MATURITY OVER THE YEARS (41 YEARS EDUCATIONAL EXISTENCE)
IBMS IMSIM's Doctoral program: PhD-IM is a Dissertation-Based Doctorate. Academic  Requirement to Graduation in PhD  (Integrative Medicine) program  requires a 150 pages Dissertation  (in Book Format only) and completion of all courses  with a total of 81 academic units , Equivalent to three years program.  Fast Track program however,  can complete degree in 1-2 yrs depending on the students pace of learning .
Holding a Lesser Degree than an Earned PhD in Official Signatories, Appearing in Alternative PhD Diploma is A "Questionable PhD Diploma /TOR".

IBMS-IMSIM as an NHEI Implements the Tertiary Education Hierarchy Structure :

For 40 years IBMS IMSIM,  adheres to "Hierarchically-Structured, Chronology-Graded Education" in Higher Education. As a Naturopathic Higher Education Institutions (NHEI) IBMS IMSIM operates in an Education System of "Hierarchically-Structured Degrees" .

IBMS IMSIM Offers Multi-Level Academic Programs as:
Bachelor to Master's degree to Doctorate in various Academic fields : Theology, Military-Related Degrees, Integrative Naturopathic Medicine, Counseling, Management and other Seminary academic programs.
​NATUROPATHIC SCHOOLS WITH NO BACHELOR AND MASTER’S GRADUATES OVER THE YEARS ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO OFFER DOCTORATES

Any Naturopathic School that does not adhere to “Tertiary Education Hierarchy” fell short of a true, qualified doctoral -provider. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) operates in an education system of "hierarchically-structured Degrees" .Academic programs as: Bachelor to Master's degree to Doctorate.

A School Cannot Confer a Doctoral degree in the absence of an underlying Bachelor and Master’s program (and graduates) operating over the years.
To offer a“Doctorate” program without the lower Academic degree programs (as Bach/Master) is not a true doctoral program, instead it is tantamount to a post- Secondary (after High school) Vocational institutions* (as TESDA Tech-Voc Philippine schools), where secondary education is the entry requirement and these schools offers program lower than a Bachelor . 

Even if a school is registered with DOH-PITACH, Any post-secondary Certificate or Diploma program is not technically an “Academic degree” (as a Doctorate) it is plainly a certificate or diploma- level program.
NHEIs schools must go through different Institutional Stages and Maturity : graduating Bachelors over the years, then later Master's , and finally the school offers Doctoral program . 

Institutional Maturity gives credence to an Educational institution
Today we see Naturopathic Schools violating this educational pattern and suddenly emerged in the field, proudly offering doctorates without a proof of graduates in the lower programs over the years.


Naturopathic Associations :
Naturopathic associations irregardless of the size of membership cannot offer “academic degrees” out of their seminars and makes “doctors”. Needless to say, an association, do not function as a school.
*A Vocational school is a post-secondary education institution, that offers relatively short, career-focused programs*

*Graduate School Programs Leading to the Degree of Doctor of Naturopathy(ND) or Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (NMD)
