About: The Master of Acupuncture program focuses on the principles and practices of acupuncture. Students will learn about traditional Chinese medicine, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methodologies. This program aims to prepare graduates for professional practice in acupuncture and integrative health settings. The course includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, ensuring a comprehensive education in this healing art.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as licensed acupuncturists, clinical practitioners, or integrative health specialists. Opportunities exist in private practice, wellness centers, hospitals, and community health organizations.

The M.Ac. program is a specialized subset of the Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization program that allows students to focus on acupuncture without the herbal component of the Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization degree.

The M.Ac. program includes an Introduction to Herbology course surveying the power of Chinese herbs in practice (to facilitate referral), plus three acupuncture specialty courses. Thirty-nine states, including Colorado (but not New Mexico or California), allow licensing for acupuncture-only programs.
