According to its web site:
Clayton College is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board. These are private, professional associations that offer accreditation in naturopathy and other areas of natural health. Both are private accrediting associations designed to meet the needs of non–traditional education and are not affiliated with any government agency.
It offers distance-learning courses in Alternative Medicine. Clayton College uses unrecognized accreditation, and is so listed by several states, among them Oregon, Texas, and Maine.
In an article published on the Quackwatch web site, Stephen Barrett, M.D recommends "avoiding both the school and its alumni."
Well-known graduates include Gillian McKeith and Hulda Regehr Clark.
