The Acupuncture Studies program leads to a Master of Acupuncture (M. Ac.) degree. The purpose of the Acupuncture Studies program is to prepare professional acupuncture healthcare practitioners who are trained in a broader approach to healing that includes an understanding of mindfulness for both the practitioner and the patient, and that allows the practitioner to focus on the whole-person: body, mind, and spirit. The program incorporates the best of several acupuncture modalities such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element, Traditional Korean Medicine, etc. to better serve the patient.

The 123-credit program is designed to be complete in three years and must be completed within 4.5 years. Students who appear to be having difficulty in completing the program within the allotted time frame will be evaluated to determine if they should continue the program.

The mission of the Acupuncture Studies Program is reflected in Goal 4 of the Institute: To educate students to become qualified acupuncture practitioners who are grounded in a holistic model of healing that includes the ability to diagnose and treat patients using diverse acupuncture techniques and traditions, integrated with compassion, spiritual awareness, and an understanding of meditation techniques.
