The Traditional Chinese Medical College of Hawaii offers an intensive, 3-2/3 calendar year (11 trimester) program, awarding its graduates a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine. Each year is comprised of three 15-week trimesters, designed to progressively develop the student’s understanding of Oriental medicine and to expand his/her abilities and competency as a healer. A new class is admitted each September. Class sizes are small to promote and support extensive interaction with instructors and classmates, optimizing the learning experience.

Our course of study engages students in an active program of didactic coursework, applied techniques, and clinical experience. The College offers an educational program that provides classroom instruction and an evolving role in the teaching clinics. As students develop knowledge and skills in the classroom setting, they learn how this information is applied through observation of senior students and licensed practitioners. As interns, students become principal care givers participating in all aspects of diagnosis, acupuncture treatment, and herbal formulation and preparation.

Our students come from highly varied personal backgrounds, and many have left other careers behind in deference to the healer’s call.

The Master of Science in Oriental Medicine degree program of the Traditional Chinese Medical College of Hawaii is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), which is the recognized accrediting agency for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and Oriental medical practitioners.
