Jung Tao School offers a four year graduate level Diploma in Acupuncture program. The goal of this program is to train students to be highly educated and compassionate health care practitioners. Graduates of Jung Tao School are firmly grounded in the Classics of Chinese medicine, providing a strong foundation upon which they may build their career as a healer. In addition, graduates are well versed in Western medicine, so as to include the "other half" of the picture presented by their patients, as well as having the ability to confidently and accurately communicate with health professionals from all fields of medicine. We feel this integrated approach to medicine is the most effective for diagnosing and treating the patient as a whole.

The structure of the Diploma program at JTS is quite different from other programs of higher education. Rather than courses being broken up into small one or two hour components, with students "picking and choosing" courses according to what fits their schedule, our program is taught as one contiguous piece, with all students in a class remaining together through the full program. There are no quarters, trimesters, or semesters at Jung Tao School. Each course lasts ten months, with each year of study focusing on a broad area of coursework.

The program has been carefully designed so that no one course or component can be taught in isolation of the other components. The focus of our program is "integration" of all aspects of the human being, so it is only natural that the structure and schedule of the courses are all integrated and intertwined with each other. By using this method of teaching, our goal is to have the student acquire the ability to synthesize information which may have before appeared to be very disparate in nature.
