Clayton College's admissions representatives can help students with questions they may have about costs, time, financing, scholarships, and program prerequisites. These advisors help prospective students determine the plan that best fits their goals, schedule, and financial circumstances.

There has never been a more ideal time to study natural health. There is a growing awareness that invasive and aggressive treatments disease do not go hand in hand with improved health. And medical costs are constantly increasing, prompting many people to seek self-empowering alternatives. Traditional naturopaths and holistic nutrition consultants are increasingly coming into contact with people who are more attuned to the mind-body-spirit connection and its relationship to optimal health. As a result, more and more allopathic practitioners are integrating holistic health therapies into their practices. With the world seeking natural and safe health alternatives, Clayton College of Natural Health embraces the idea that the body is innately designed to heal itself.

Clayton College offers a convenient alternative to campus-based education: self-paced distance learning. And the cost of this alternative is far below the cost of most on-campus colleges. At Clayton College of Natural Health, motivated students are allowed to create their own learning environment, study at their own pace, and fit their studies into their personal and professional lives. Students need to be self-disciplined, self-directed, and able to progress without the formal structure of a classroom.
