I'm taking the Nutrition Educator track. It is so-so. They are accredited. The distance program is about $5k and is self-paced.

YOu need to have a related degree from an accredited school before attending. If you don't, they offer a medical assisting program that certifies you. They are not holistic in the mainstream sense of the word, but evidence based.

There is no interaction on the forum there. DVDs and a binder with copies of pages from various sources (wikipedia seems to be a favorite, and some A&P textbooks) make up the bulk of the material. A stack of books such as Molecules of Emotion, Weston Price's books, Royal Lee's, and others long those lines, a biased, outdated college basic nutrition textbook, make up the book list. Students must submit an essay on each of the 20 or so chapters, and then write a 125-pg. thesis. The DVDs feature advanced degree professionals and they are very easy to watch.

Accreditation has been improved and I believe the price has gone up.
