    Hello, Did anyone buy any of the existing programs at Clayton or did it all go down in ashes? Thanks. Hille.....Have seen a diploma from there recently.

    All over. Over $1 million recovered by lawyers to repay students. I think some outfit - maybe called Kingdom College - offered "degree" completion courses to Clayton students left hanging when the school closed. Not positive about the name (Kingdom) but pretty sure the school making the offer had no CHEA /USDoE recognized accreditation.

    The search engine here might help you.

    Good Morning, I see that that Texas Chiropractic College has linked up with some programs. I am investigating online to see if this is a legit option. Hille

    Do you see anywhere that they offer distance learning programs? Are you looking at their bricks-and-mortar completion BS in Biology or Doctor of Chiropractic, or their bricks-and-mortar joint-degree programs where a TCC Doctor of Chiropractic student can also earn an MS in Biology, or in Fitness and Human Performance, from University of Houston-Clear Lake?

    These above are all RA, and the chiropractic program is professionally accredited.

    University of Houston-Clear Lake also offers a certificate in Fitness and Human Performance online. For an online student who isn't pursuing a DC at Texas Chiropractic College, there doesn't seem to be any nexus between Texas Chiropractic College and the certificate program.

    I can't believe that Texas Chiropractic, an accredited school, would have anything to do with the defunct Clayton, let alone make an offer of any kind to its former students.

    Clayton was one (not very good) thing - Texas Chiropractic is as different from Clayton as it gets! Never the twain shall meet -- no, not on any twack!

    Here's the story of Clayton, complete with the details of the recovery fund I mentioned.

    There has been more than one offer of "degree-completion" for victims of Clayton and its closure. I view all such schools with the same hostility and suspicion I felt viewing Clayton itself.

    Here's one such offer:

    I see on the web page that Kingdom College has an agreement with Texas Chiropractic College for the PHD in Natural Medicine. I am trying to see if there are any other agreements. Although I think there are issues if coursework could be dl and the actual degree would be through Texas Chiropractic is would be an interesting option. If I find out anything additionally I will post. Hille

    Yes, that's what Kingdom College says, all right -- Perhaps I am in denial (once again) :smile: , but I refuse to believe it, until dragged kicking and screaming into an alternate reality.. I was unable to verify this on the TCC site, and that did not surprise me one bit. I shudder at the very idea!

    I saw a great St. Patrick's day t-shirt today. "Caution: prone to shenanigans and malarkey!" I think this would do well as a staff uniform at Kingdom College!

    PS - Kingdom's claim about the agreement is here, for whatever it's worth: Doctor of Philosophy In Natural Medicine (Ph.D.)
