As if Warnborough becoming accredited wasn't enough, another serious kick in the shorts for the clones is on the horizon. Alabama-based Clayton College of Natural Health, another of the clones' favorite whipping boys, is on the road to accreditation. This from the 4-30-2009 CCNH student newsletter:
DETC is the only accreditation agency that prohibits applicants from publicizing their application, so it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure where CCNH is applying. CCNH long has been a legit but unaccredited operation, and for those of us who appreciate independent, non-traditional education it will be nice to see them get official recognition of that fact.
Quote:As you read in the recent Holistic Times newsletter, we are in the application process for accreditation with an accrediting agency that is recognized by the United States Department of Education. We are not allowed to provide more specific information about this because the agency with which we are applying has rules that prevent us from doing so until the accreditation process is complete.
Applying for and completing accreditation is a lengthy and detailed process. Should CCNH be successful in its accreditation efforts, we will be able to offer accredited degrees in natural health, holistic nutrition, and holistic health and wellness. The college is in the early stages of the process, and we are discovering that we need to make a few changes to meet the requirements of the accrediting agency. This is good news for you, for the college, and for the natural health and holistic nutrition education community.
