Programs
CCOM offers two master's-level graduate programs in Chinese medicine. Both are ACAOM-accredited, SEVIS-approved for international students, and culminate in eligibility for NCCAOM certification.
Both programs share the same foundation in Chinese medical theory, diagnostic methods, and biomedical sciences. The difference is depth: the Master of Acupuncture focuses on acupuncture practice, while the Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine adds comprehensive training in the classical herbal traditions and integrated nutrition.
Choose the program that fits your clinical goals, or contact admissions if you’re not sure — many applicants begin with the MAc program and add herbal training later through continuing education.
