Online College Degrees
More and more traditional colleges are now offering degrees in areas of holistic health. It’s worth investigating these options if a regionally accredited degree is of importance to you. Yes, many careers in holistic health and wellness do not require a regionally accredited degree, and in most cases, the qualification you’re seeking is simply not offered at a traditional university. So don’t be disappointed if you can’t find degree programs in Feng Shui, or Meditation at a major university! A great resource I’ve found as a starting point for information regarding online degree programs is the Online College-University Degree site:

Visit them to learn what you need to know when looking for and eventually enrolling in an online degree program.
For a selection of individual courses and a few full certificate programs, try ACETI, which is the American Continuing Education and Training Institute: http://www.aceti.com
Personally, I love studying online and find it perfect for my way of learning. I prefer to check in to classes on my own schedule and from the comfort of home. Also, since I work at home, have a family to attend to - and now live in a remote area too - this way of taking courses / earning degrees - is very efficient and very effective. I find that my home environment is considerably more conducive to thoughtful learning and reflection.
Some people don’t really like the learning process and just want to get their program over with, get the piece of paper and be done with ever learning another thing 
. These types of people are usually not self-starters when it comes to their coursework and get distracted easily when trying to study on their own outside of a structured classroom environment. If this describes you, then cross online degree programs off your list and find a good resident program. With all the benefits of online training, there remain a few disadvantages - even with the super technology that many employ today. You have to be comfortable with computers and you must be able to keep yourself motivated and on track - yourself.
