Veronica Said:

Are online programs to become a holistic health practitioner legitimate?

We Answered:

I will give you this one piece of advice. My father is a professor and often chairs committees to hire new professors. He frequently sees resumes from people who got their master's degree or Ph.D. from an online university. He says that those applications are always thrown out immediately because real colleges and universities do not consider online degrees to be valid. It pains him to do it, because he doesn't want to tell them that their degree is worthless, but at the same time it really is. If academics don't consider the degree valid then maybe it isn't worth the time and money.

The difference between dietitian and nutritionist is that dietitian is a protected term, you actually have to pass standardized tests and be licensed and so forth. Anyone who wants to can just call themselves a nutritionist. If I needed a person to talk to about what I eat I would always go to a dietitian because I know they are actually well schooled and base their advice in science.

Is there a way you can email the school itself to ask where you can get loans for their courses?? Like globalcollegenaturalmedicine.com!! Surely they would answer an email from you !! Try the yahoo directory for ways of contacting the online school!! Also try doctorsholistichealth.com!! I hope I have given you enough avenues to explore for your request!!
