The program is designed to provide a comprehensive education in Acupuncture and/or Oriental Medicine. Our goals include preparing students to become highly qualified practitioners and enabling them to pass licensure and/or certification exams. Ethical responsibility, appreciation for continued learning, and the ability to be fully capable and independent practitioners are key aspects of our program.
Upon completion, students will conduct holistic assessments, develop personalized treatment plans, implement acupuncture treatments, incorporate Chinese herbal medicine, emphasize self-care and preventative care, maintain comprehensive documentation, and design strategies for a successful practice or employment in the diverse field of acupuncture.
Our 145-credit Acupuncture program, designed for completion in 9 trimesters (3 academic years), includes prerequisites in Anatomy & Physiology and Chemistry. Part-time options are available for those with work or other responsibilities. The curriculum exceeds certification and licensing requirements, and graduates are well-prepared for NCCAOM national certification exams required by New York State for licensure.
Our program goes beyond education by ensuring graduates meet state requirements for professional licensure or certification needed for employment. With full accreditation from ACAHM and recognition by NCCAOM, our graduates automatically fulfill eligibility requirements. We provide review courses for NCCAOM exams and the acupuncture Clean Needle Technique examination, ensuring a seamless path to licensure.
