Null says he holds a bachelor's degree from Thomas A. Edison State College in New Jersey and a PhD in human nutrition and public health sciences from Union Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio. Edison State, while accredited, is a "non-traditional" school with neither campus nor courses and bachelor's degrees are based on career experience, equivalent exams, and courses taken at other schools. Union Institute & University accreditation does not cover awarding of PhDs in the sciences, only in the humanities.

Null says he holds a bachelor's degree from Thomas A. Edison State College in New Jersey and a PhD in human nutrition and public health sciences from Union Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio. Edison State, while accredited, is a "non-traditional" school with neither campus nor courses and bachelor's degrees are based on career experience, equivalent exams, and courses taken at other schools. Because of it's "liberal" acceptance policy for courses it is labelled a [[diploma mill]] by some sources in the Internet. Union Institute & University accreditation does not cover awarding of PhDs in the sciences, only in the humanities.
    
He uses his title for advertising purposes. According to the approval documents of the thesis(title: "A Study of Psychological and Physiological Effects of Caffeine on Human Health") the PhD committee was composed of the following people: Peter Fenner, an expert in geological sciences (totally unrelated to Null's topic), Martin Feldman, MD, a [[Alternative medicine|"complementary"]] physician (and "[[clinical ecologist after Randolph]]") who worked with Null on his books and as a backup for the radio show, Philip J. Hodes, "Practitioner Holistic, Health Detoxification & Orthomolecular Nutritionist, Consultant" and Elayne Kahn, a psychologist who co-authored a book with Null that was published in 1976. In contrast to Null's work, a regular thesis for a doctoral degree in a scientific discipline requires a genuine contribution to the scientific literature.
