It has nothing to do with online. Most all State universities offer online (North Carolina, Colorado, Kansas, etc) and are available for LICENSURE. The problem is that UFL does not offer it so any of the other state universities are almost double the price because I'm out of state tuition. Upwards of $70K+ for 2 years as I already have a Bachelor degree (just not in nutrition). Another 70K for a masters. I don't have 140K and doubt I could pay that back with the amount of years to work that I have left. Insurances don't pay for the degree because its Holistic and insurances will only pay for things that are traditional. Besides, I would still take an exam from a national board to be certified.
And Jim, thank you for the positive thoughts and suggestions. You are right in every aspect. Building a client base first with lower rates is a great idea. Thank you
