The Master's Program curriculum meets and exceeds all ACAOM, BPPVE and California Acupuncture Board standards, and ensures a solid education in Oriental Medicine. It consists of a four-year program of study that includes a total of 3170 hours of classroom and clinical instruction. Students complete 2220 hours of classroom (didactic) instruction and a total of 950 hours of clinical training (including observation and a total of 780 hours of clinical internship).

Students take required coursework in each of four departments of study including Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Western Sciences. In addition to the required coursework, students take a total of 60 hours of Electives that provide additional, unique and specialized opportunities to study with leading professionals in the field.

The Clinic curriculum provides phased and structured training that builds clinical and professional competencies in treating patients. Students learn and work in the Clinic's Herb Dispensary, observe faculty, and shadow interns before moving into the role of clinical interns themselves. The clinical internships are structured to provide students with the opportunity to acquire and demonstrate the knowledge and skills of phased clinical competencies.

The Master's Program is designed to be completed in four years (or more) in order to ensure that students have the time to learn and integrate the large amount of knowledge and skills contained in the curriculum. The maximum length of time students can be in the Master's Program is eight years. Students must successfully complete all required coursework and two standard examinations, Mid-Curriculum and Comprehensive Exams, to meet requirements for program completion and graduation.
