Article Abstract:
Criticism is leveled against some U.K. universities that offer bachelor of science (BSc) honors degrees in complementary and alternate medicine (CAM) including homeopathy and acupuncture. It is argued that such degrees are unjustified, as most CAM is not evidence-based and hence not science, and many doctrines of CAM and practitioners are anti-science.
