Colleges/Universities/Schools Of Alternative Medicine of the most dynamic and progressive schools of health oregon) college is licensedby the oregon Dept alternative Health degree Programs by Home Study Accredited http://www.karinya.com/schools.htm
Extractions: of Alternative Medicine With this page we bring the viewer a listing of major Colleges/Universities/Schools of Alternative Medicine in the U.S. and around the world. The interest in getting back to alternative/holostic/complimentary medicine as well as agriculture (See SAFE below) is a "headlong rush" from that offered by Western medicine and its "drug - lets hope this does it (cover the symptoms) approach", which is just not working. ( Read Notice ) Over 48% of people desiring healthcare (in the U.S.), according to various publications and sources this last year (1998) went for the "holistic" alternative approach. As a result, the names of educational institutions, many which have been teaching and fully accredited for their students, are getting substantial increases in enrollments. We thought our viewers would like to look in Karinya for these sources, thus, we present our list, which is expected to grow rapidly. Please give us your comments and suggestions to make our web site more responsive to your needs.

Extractions: Albany Free School The Free School is a process which must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The kids themselves make the choice to join us, after a week's visit (we do not leave that decision to parents alone) and since the changes they may want and need to make occur only over time and the space to discover for themselves who they really are, we ask parents for a commitment to allow their children to stay in the school for at least a year, so that the value we have for them can be fully realized. Alpine Valley School - Based on the Sudbury Valley School (see below), Alpine Valley is a place dedicated to freedom, respect and the joy of learning. Here, learning occurs as that magical state of being fully engaged and freely exploring your interests, gifts and talents. True freedom and responsibility emerge from trust and respect. Every student is a part of all school decisions and stands on equal footing with the staff and each other. Alternative Community School (Ithaca, NY) - ACS is a small middle school/high school, grades 6 through 12. There are about 260 students, who are accepted to ACS through random draw from the applicant pool. ACS is a public school, and there are no fees or tuition. We are an alternative to traditional schools, in our curricular and school governance philosophies. We believe in being both a community within our school and being part of the larger Ithaca community. Australian Correspondance School - "Established in 1979, ACS has educated thousands of full and part-time students, many of whom have gone onto successful employment, both in industry or in their own businesses. Others have used their courses to develop a hobby, or simply broaden their general education. We currently have over 2500 students enrolled from Australia and around the world."

Still others may wish to become educators after a successful career in another field. Oregon offers options through the Transitional License Restricted Transitional License , and Limited License . The Professional Technical License has been offered for many years. The options provide ways for people to enter the profession from a variety of backgrounds. Individuals who hold Transitional or Restricted Transitional Licenses all must meet the requirements for the Initial License , the first stage of licensure under the Oregon system, in three years. Transitional License Transitional licenses are issued to out-of-state educators who have completed an approved program in their own states but have not yet passed the required tests in Oregon. In other cases, individuals may have completed an approved program in Oregon, but have not taken or passed the tests. This license may also be issued to an individual who had a license at one time but has not been working in the schools and so lacks recent experience. Applicants have completed an approved preparation program but lack testing requirements or recency requirements
