A clinician should cultivate the ways of Heaven and Earth, understand the dynamics of the human spirit, and ponder the depths of Nature. One will then grasp the Tao.

Program Schedule

The Acupuncture Program consists of 144.5 hour semester-credit-hours. Students usually attend classes 18 to 20 hours a week, and complete the program in nine semesters over three years.

Semesters are fifteen weeks long, with a two or three week break between them.

Classes meet weekday evenings and afternoons depending upon specific courses. During clinical internship there are both daytime hours in the clinic and some evening classes. Very infrequently, special intensive classes are scheduled on weekends.
