Conrad Adams, CCH, DNM, PhD

It is both an honor and a privilege to invite you to join our family at Alpha University. Alpha University began as a source of continuing education opportunities  in the field of hypnotherapy, which is one of the world’s fastest growing health and wellness professions. More than ever before in history, people internationally are seeking out the services of complementary, natural and holistic health or wellness professionals. 

Nearly one-half of all medical visits made today are with natural/holistic practitioners. Today there is a greater need for properly trained practitioners to meet the challenges of the trend we are facing and will continue to experience in the future.

As a result of its rapid acceptance,  Alpha University has now broadened its scope of education to other professions and is offering academic degrees in Behavioral Sciences, Criminal Justice, Health Sciences and Religious/Theological Studies.  Career opportunities are ever increasing in the areas of study being offered by Alpha University.  More fields of study are planned for the future as we grow. 

Alpha University is a professional educational membership organization and was established to meet the educational standards set to fulfill the demands of highly qualified professionals.  Alpha University offers continuing and advanced educational opportunities to members of various professional organizations. Highly qualified instructors have been selected based on expertise, devotion, knowledge and desire to share the skills they have mastered.

Professionals have the option of taking continuing education courses from affiliate training facilities at various locations, or by teleconferencing, online courses, as well as attending lectures, conferences and conventions. New courses are continually added to meet the demands of those seeking our academic services.
