МАГИСТР АКУПУНКТУРЫ

The M.Ac. program is a specialized subset of the Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization program that allows students to focus on acupuncture without the herbal component of the Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization degree.

The M.Ac. program includes an Introduction to Herbology course surveying the power of Chinese herbs in practice (to facilitate referral), plus three acupuncture specialty courses. Thirty-nine states, including Colorado (but not New Mexico or California), allow licensing for acupuncture-only programs.

Southwest Acupuncture College is a classical school of Oriental medicine offering an accredited professional degree program leading to a Master of Acupuncture (M.Ac.) or a Master of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization.

With the primary responsibility of educating students to become independent healthcare providers, our foremost goal is to provide excellence in the education of those prospective practitioners. A concomitant goal of the college, to cultivate leadership and service to the community in this emerging field of effective medical care, is fostered in the curriculum and the educational life of the college community through our onsite low-cost public clinic and numerous off-campus externship clinics where we offer free service.

In order to accomplish these goals of promoting the highest quality of education, and promoting the greatest caliber and realization of professional performance, the staff and faculty are continually re-evaluating the program and supporting areas of institutional activity, seeking ways to enhance and maintain the college's standard of excellence.
