The Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree is an entry to the profession for individuals seeking to practice acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Our master's degree program in traditional Oriental medicine is designed to train competent, highly skilled health care practitioners and to provide the foundation for ongoing study and development in the field. Students receive comprehensive instruction and practical experience in acupuncture, herbal medicine, Oriental therapeutic massage and qi cultivation.

The Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) degree program provides an opportunity for practicing acupuncturists to gain in-depth knowledge of advanced topics in both Oriental medicine and Western medicine. The heart of doctoral education at OCOM is the development of lifelong learners and scholars. The program builds upon the abilities of acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners who can lead and collaborate and who understand the foundations of medical knowledge, both East and West, practitioners who apply disciplined inquiry and careful assessment of evidence to make reasoned conclusions, express themselves articulately, and have a historical and cultural context for today’s health care problems and challenges.
