Great news … ACHS has been approved by the US Department of Education to offer Title IV federal financial aid to qualified students in ACHS’s online Associate of Applied Science in Complementary Alternative Medicine degree program. This includes Pell Grants, the American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit and eligibility for student loan deferment, which are all available to qualifying enrolled students.

“Being able to offer Title IV federal financial aid to our students is an important achievement for ACHS. The availability of the additional grant will enable students who were not able to otherwise enroll at ACHS to apply for admission and build the skills they need to begin or advance their careers in holistic health by studying complementary alternative medicine (CAM),” says Dorene Petersen, ACHS President.

ACHS’s fully online, accredited Associate of Applied Science in Complementary Alternative Medicine degree program provides a comprehensive holistic health certification including training in holistic nutrition, aromatherapy, herbal medicine and other holistic health modalities.
