American College of Healthcare Sciences Reviews

American College of Healthcare Sciences has been an amazing stepping stone for my education. The experience has allowed me to become a better, more disciplined student. It has given me the confidence I was lacking in becoming an entrepreneur. With the knowledge and alternative/holistic philosophy, I will be able to have an amazing practice of my own.

I am attending ACHS for a Diploma in Aromatherapy to join the professional organization of the N.A.H.A. (National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy). None of my educators are members of N.A.H.A., nor are they practicing aromatherapists. One says "um" for every other word, and none can pronounce Latin words. 90% of the books used at ACHS were written by the founder of ACHS, Dorene Petersen. Each course has weekly video lectures that last for 30 minutes. The anatomy classes consist of reading from books and watching videos provided by free unaffiliated YouTube channels like "Crash Course." The professors do not teach. Instead, they go over the premade modules on Canvas and then ask if we have any questions. The most useful thing I have learned at ACHS is writing a case study report.

ACHS (American College of Healthcare Sciences) is an exceptionally amazing and professional institution. The clarity in their services makes the entire process seamless and accessible. ACHS goes above and beyond in assisting individuals in planning every aspect of their educational journey. Their commitment to excellence is evident in how they support and guide students, ensuring that all their needs are met with precision and expertise. Choosing ACHS means choosing a pathway to success with a team dedicated to providing unparalleled education and assistance every step of the way.

Review American College of Healthcare Sciences

It was a nice and fun online school with nice classes and good support. But I would recommend going to a regionally accredited, non-profit, and ACEND school for dietetics instead. It will be better for getting a job.

I am just starting at ACHS but so far everything so far, the help enrolling, applying, financial aide, orientation has been exceptional. I can't wait to start classes, and hope I can continue to remain throughout my career, and take my career as far as I can.

The American College of Healthcare Sciences has been extremely helpful in getting me signed up for classes, setting up financial aid, and offering different avenues to make the experience much easier to deal with on a busy schedule. I feel as though they truly want me to succeed with my degree in holistic health. My advisor, Jessica, has been the greatest help so far. Would highly recommend to everyone to take courses with this college.

I have not started my program as of yet, classes begin June 29th , I am super excited, the orientation process was very positive and informal. No changes need

ACHS is a fantastic Holistic education school with a detailed and immersive curriculum that is thorough and updated. The professors are skilled and knowledgeable, the staff is supportive, and the school has a beautiful internal community with resources to support each student's educational journey toward holistic health. What I love the most about ACHS is the online school structure that is super flexible and accommodating to people from all walks of life. ACHS is a brilliant choice for anyone interested in studying integrative health, they offer programs in aroma therapy, nutrition and microcredentials towards other fields of study, I love them!

So far my journey here has been so exciting. All of the student aids are super kind and helpful. I also love that they support the military and their spouses, it is a big help and so encouraging.

This is an absolutely fantastic college. The professors and staff are always available and willing to help. All classwork can be done at your own pace.

I have only taken courses for a certificate program here, but I have loved every minute of it. Not only does ACHS offer some of the only accredited programs in complementary alternative medicine, but they provide online and on-campus options. I have been an online student thus far and will be continuing online for my bachelor's degree with ACHS. The coursework is engaging and interesting, and the instructors could not be better. Even in an online setting, I feel just as supported, if not more than I ever have in previous on-campus experiences at other schools. They are knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and excited to help their students in any way possible. Even online, you have access to library resources, student services, financial aid, etc. Registration and enrollment have been straightforward, and setting up financial aid has been a breeze. I honestly don't think there's anything I'd change. It's been everything I could want and expect out of a higher education institution.

I have learning obstacles after military service, so my degree path took longer than normal. The staff and faculty in this school did everything in their means to assist me in earning one degree and is continuing as I work toward a second. They are more present than I have seen at other schools, based on interactions with family and friends and I would choose them again.

Generally, the college is well-organized and manages to provide totally remote learning smoothly and successfully.
The standard of teaching varies greatly between professors.
Programs are flexible and offer excellent elective options.

You can take these classes at your convenience. Classes are easy to navigate, and most teachers are nice and responsive. The American College of Healthcare Sciences provides multiple tools to help you with your assignments for example Grammarly, online library, and APA citation guide/ website. I am studying for my Bachelor's in integrative health . The school mailed me all of my supplies to complete my projects including herbs, storage containers, essential oils, and carrier oils.

The staff is amazing and I loved my experience. I wouldn't have had a better education anywhere else.

Great school for wanting to excell in the non-standard field holistic healthcare services to equip you to provide for your community.

I love the staff! When I say I ran into some personal stuff and they helped me every step of the way with no judgement. I really wish I knew how to show then that.

Review American College of Healthcare Sciences

Very knowledgeable staff that were easily accessible and professional. They answered all my questions and kept me up to date with my whole journey with flexibility.

I’ve had nothing but postive experiences at this college. The professors are amazing, I love the online platform. I’ve learned so much about alternative medicine. I actually enjoy reading research articles while researching. I love the science backed way of learning.

I haven't attended college there yet but the process of everything thus far has been running smoothly. Able to get in contact with admissions to speaking with department heads about my major to forwarding my transcripts has been painless process.
