it's a very specialized school hun. it's the only post grad school for naturopathic medicine that offers any undergrad programs. so while they may have a couple of classes that can be taken online--it isn't a school that a person can just do online classes. (not sure if any of the classes are offered online or not.)
tuition is based on which program you are enrolled for: first year costs BS Herbal Sciences 45 (Average # of Credits) $ 15,300 (Tuition & Fees) $900 (Books & Supplies) $27,146 (Year Total ---the budget used to determine financial aid eligibility allows for $10,946 in living expenses for a 9-month period)
also, keep in mind that one has to already have a min. of 90 credit hours in the prereqs. for the program. which means that i will have to continue schooling here in lexington after i get my massage certification, before i can even hope to qualify.
WOW! But I'm sure the prereq's won't be a problem for you, and by then you'll be fat off the hog with clients, you'll be ready and rearin to go for it. :D
basically, after i get my liscense then i'll have to enroll (as a freshman) at the local community college and take what classes i can take while i work. the good part is that i'll be gaining the experience that i need as a massage therapist in the process, so that i can eventually get a teaching job as i work towards the next steps.
while i would love to get a BS in herbal sciences, the bigger goal is to get into naturopathic med school. so once i have the prereqs. it will depend a lot on what/where i am able to get a job. i don't know if that made any sense.
