Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM) is a four-academic-year professional degree that prepares graduates to be effective, competent and caring members of the Chinese medicine profession. The curriculum is divided into two portions: the pre-professional courses and the graduate courses. The pre-professional courses are considered to be equivalent to the latter two upper-division years of a baccalaureate program. Written and practical comprehensive examinations are given at the beginning of the sixth trimester and the ninth trimester in order to assess and determine each student’s eligibility for the next level of study and for graduation. The ACCHS Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine program is designed to accommodate persons who must manage a regular work-life while going to school. Students who can devote daytime to TCM courses can finish in three years, whereas it takes four for those who take evening courses. Graduates of the degree program are eligible to sit for the acupuncture licensure examination given by the California State Acupuncture Board and sit for the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) exam.
