Sifting through the blah blah blah...
I've been thinking about going for some sort of degree that involves holistic nutrition and wellness. Also potentially something in the field of massage therapy and the like. Possibly even extending into the realm of midwifery, and into lactation consultation. This is long-term stuff, and I've done very little research thus far.
So before I waste any time barking up the wrong tree, I question you, the masses. How much does accreditation matter in a school? Specifically, if something doesn't show up on CHEA.org (Council for Higher Education Accreditation), should I discard it from the "places I may want go to further my education" pile?
I'm looking for something economically desirable, and wherever possible I'd like to find courses that can be completed online. Problem is, I have no idea how to sift out the high quality ones. If accreditation is something that schools can buy (my experience in such matters), I want to know that I don't need to worry about it.
This probably won't be a big issue for about a year, but when the time comes, I want to be well prepared.
