Kingdom College of Natural Health is accredited by The American Association of Drugless Practitioners, Texas. They have memberships in American Holistic Health Association, California and Complementary Medical Association, Arizona.

The Kingdom College of Natural Health does not hold any federal, regional or state accreditations in the US. The United States does not offer accreditation to colleges specializing in natural and homeopathic medicines.

I have rated this section as good. The reason for this is that as compared to many other online colleges offering degreed programs, the accreditation is lacking. However for this particular field of study the accreditation is above average.
