Degree Programs

The Asian Institute offers two master's degree programs, the Master of Acupuncture M.Ac.) and the Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM). The Master of Acupuncture Program is three years in length and the Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is three and a half years in length. Both programs meet the standards established by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM). Each program follows the core curriculum as outlined by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and qualifies graduates for licensure in the State of Arizona and to sit for the NCCAOM National exam (see www.nccaom.org). The programs were designed for full time study, however, part-time individualized course sequencing can be developed for students unable to attend full time. The M.Ac. program must be completed within five years, the MAOM program must be completed within six years.
