New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) currently offers two programs through which it seeks to fulfill its educational objectives:

A three-year Bachelor of Professional Studies / Master of Science in Health Science / Acupuncture Program, which prepares students for licensure and professional practice of Acupuncture.

A four-year Bachelor of Professional Studies / Master of Science in Health Science / Oriental Medicine Program, which prepares students for licensure and professional practice of both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology.

Our curriculum is similar to the programs offered in China for the training of O.M.D.s. It blends the holistic approach of this ancient Chinese modality with modern health care.

The nine-trimester (three-year) 139-credit program in Acupuncture at the school prepares students for licensure in and professional practice of acupuncture. Theacupuncture program contains three strands of courses—TCM, Acupuncture, and Western Biomedical Sciences.

The twelve-trimester (four-year) 182-credit Oriental Medicine Program is similar to the Acupuncture Program, with the addition of one further strand of courses—Chinese Herbology. This strand consists basically of two series of courses, the first of which introduces the student to approximately 400 individual herbs, and the second of which presents 250 or so herbal formulas or combinations of individual herbs.
