“This exciting project has been in the works for some time, and we are proud of all of the hard work and effort that has gone into this incredible new website,” says ACHS President Dorene Petersen.

ACHS’s new website features several student-focused enhancements, specifically streamlined navigation of online Student Services tools including secure classroom login, the ACHS Media Channel streaming College-wide social media, and quick access to the ACHS FAQ Knowledgebase, fully searchable and accessible 24/7.

The ACHS website remains at www.achs.edu and incorporates a fresh appearance and simplified navigation, which will appeal to website visitors from the holistic health and wellness community at-large. Program and course information is quickly available via the website homepage, as are College announcements and industry specific news and event listings. The new site also includes more accessible information about military education benefit programs for ACHS’s growing military student population.

“From active duty military preparing herbal remedies over a camp stove in Afghanistan to military spouses providing wellness coaching to base communities, ACHS’s holistic health training is serving U.S. servicemembers, spouses, and veterans worldwide. With our new website, these military students can now find all the information they need about programs and our many available funding options in one place,” adds President Petersen.
