No, another degree mill... you're posting all degree mills at this time, you really need to create a list of like your top 10 based on pricing, and other criteria, post it on your reply, and we can look to see if any of them have some type of accreditation that makes them 'legal'.
I don't have a list of top 10. Any of the traditional programs are 60K and over, even online. In Illinois, only RA/NA with a licensure track (which includes either practicum/internship, or supervised hours) will lead to licensure. I am at 250K in student loans for all those nice degrees I have. My eventual plan is to start a consulting/life coach business from home in holistic psychology. Here is why. I am a school psychologist. I routinely send kids to the psychiatric hospital for evaluation (suicidal/homicidal ideation/transgenderism/depression). They are in there anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. They are sent out "stabilized" and on medication. Medication doesn't work or they won't take it. They see therapists once a week. One month later we are in the same situation. If you do a little reading, psychiatric meds are not that effective. Under my license I can do private practice with children birth to 22 years old (and their parents) who are in a K-12 program. I would like to offer drugless (somatic/overcoming negative or destructive thoughts/art/music/orthomolecular) approaches. Therefore, I would like more education in this area, whether I have to research it myself, or take the classes. Does that help?

Also, why does non-accredited automatically mean it is a degree mill? I don't think 4 years of study is a degree mill. I posted about my friend. I guarantee her education is as good or better than the accredited cosmetology schools. She is doing nothing different than the accredited schools. What they are doing is making her spend thousands of dollars on conferences, inspection, consultants, rewriting the syllibi, etc.
