6 Acupuncture Bachelors Degree Programs

The nine-trimester (three-year) 141-credit program in Acupuncture prepares students for licensure in and professional practice of acupuncture. The program contains three strands of courses--TCM, Acupuncture, and Western Biomedical Sciences--each of which consists of an ordered progression of material: The TCM strand begins with the basic theories of Chinese physiology based on Yin and Yang and the five elements and progresses in a stepwise fashion through Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Syndrome Analysis, Treatment Principles, and Clinical Acupuncture Practice. Each successive course builds on the information presented in prior courses until a grand synthesis is reached in the Clinical Acupuncture Practice series.

The twelve-trimester (four-year) 183-credit Acupuncture with Chinese Herbal Medicine Program is similar to the Acupuncture Program, with the addition of one further strand of courses--Chinese Herbology. This strand consists basically of two series of courses, the first of which introduces the student to approximately 400 individual herbs, and the second of which presents 250 or so herbal formulas or combinations of individual herbs.
