Portland, OR, December 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Australasian College of Health Sciences (ACHS) in Portland, Oregon, launches seven new career-oriented credential programs beginning January 2009. The College developed these one-of-a-kind programs to meet growing industry demand for accessible, holistic health career training. Specially designed to meet the needs of higher education’s fast-growing population—non-traditional students—ACHS now offers greater access to viable CAM-based careers and businesses.
ACHS is the only DETC accredited, fully online college offering programs and degrees in Complementary Alternative Medicine available in the United States. To date, more than 60,000 students have used their ACHS, distance-learning education to build satisfying and sustainable careers. As alternative health continues to increase in visibility and desirability, the College will continue to develop course offerings and programs that service the needs of a growing profession.
History tells us that in times of national economic uncertainty, higher education is the go-to solution for professional re-tooling and development. Yet, today, many non-traditional students are unable to attend traditional, daytime classes. The increasingly viable solution is accredited, online education. Students who enroll in one of the Australasian College’s career-oriented credential programs: 1) receive accredited education for a sustainable career in the growing alternative health industry; 2) save money by minimizing transportation costs; 3) and can continue to work while completing their studies, because ACHS courses are available from any computer, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The College’s new career-oriented credential programs include: Certificate in Herbal Retail Management, Certificate in Natural Products Manufacturing, Certificate in Holistic Nutrition Consulting, Certificate in Iridology Consulting, Certificate in Homeopathy Consulting, Certificate in Dynamic Phytotherapy Consulting, and Certificate in Wellness Consulting.
Program graduates will prepare for careers in: alternative health consulting, health food retailing and management, herbal and aromatherapy product manufacturing, wellness and community education, holistic nutrition, professional health care continuing education, and more. Credential programs range from three to five courses, and could be completed in a minimal investment of one term with full-time, concurrent enrollment. VA funding will be available January 2009, which makes it easy for U.S. Armed Forces servicemembers, military spouses, and veterans to maximize their education benefits and invest in their future with a career in holistic health.
Additional course descriptions, registration requirements, and funding information are available through the ACHS Admissions Department. Visit www.achs.edu or call (800) 487-8839, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Pacific Standard Time.
