Curriculum
The Acupuncture Program curriculum is rooted in the
spirit, philosophy and practice of Classical Chinese
Acupuncture. Classical Chinese Acupuncture is a collective
term that pertains to the various
traditions stemming from Taoist roots, governed by
the principles outlined in the ancient texts of Chinese
medicine. The curriculum provides a strong foundation
in the philosophical, psychological and
clinical aspects of this timeless healing art. Details can
be found in our catalog.
Students begin clinical training after their second
semester, working in the school's Yu Wen Clinic, as well as
in offsite clinics such as September Space. They have the
opportunity to utilize their knowledge of a variety of
acupuncture traditions to treat patients with a wide range
of needs.
Completing the Program
Graduates of the Acupuncture Program are eligible to take the
examinations of the National Certification Commission of
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Our Alumni Services
Department is available to them throughout their
professional careers, including an online referral service.
