The curriculum is designed to provide students with a complete mastery of all facets of Chinese medicine. In the first year, we provide a fundamental integration of all aspects of natural healing as well as scientific research. The first year also prepares students for entering the Clinic as assistants in the second year. As clinical assistants, students work as part of a team which includes other assistants, interns and certified acupuncturists. A Master of Science in Oriental Medicine Degree is awarded to graduates.
Semesters are five and one half months long with a two week break between.
New classes are entered with the beginning of each semester. The Curriculum details the information described in the fact sheet above. The standard length of repayment is 10 years, with options to consolidate loans after graduation to extend this repayment period. The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan carries the same terms as the Subsidized Loan, with one important distinction - the student is responsible for all interest accruing during the grace period. Students have th option to pay this interest on a monthly basis or to allow the interest to accrue and be capitalized into their loan principal at intervals determined by the lender.
