I just went to amfpt and got it for like $80. You basically buy it. Your given a test and its open book(e-book) Its not a great degree but many places take it.

I have AFTA, Just finished NASM...it is really good and widely accepted. Otherwise ISSA and ACSM are good ones too.

I'm ISSA certified. It's a pretty good middle of the road certification. It really depends on what kind of knowledge you already possess when going in. All certifications are teaching you is pure theory. Does anyone REALLY know what works and what doesn't?

ACSM or NSCA the two top certs in the world
