Admission to the professional doctoral program requires the satisfactory completion of a Master’s degree or Master’s level program in Oriental Medicine from The Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) accredited or candidate Acupuncture & Oriental medicine program or its international equivalent.

Admissions with Deficiencies The program may admit applicants with particular educational deficiencies of a limited nature which possess an ACAOM-accredited or candidate degree or master’s level diploma or international equivalent provided that such persons complete any course work deficiencies before taking relevant doctoral program courses for which such course work is a prerequisite.
