Acupuncture Degrees

The healing art of Acupuncture serves global populations in huge numbers, and acupuncture has been one of the most respected of the Oriental healing professions for thousands of years. Acupuncture Degrees prepare students with healing art techniques based on the principle that the short-term insertion of needles into tissue beneath the skin stimulates nerves to promote healing.

Acupuncture Degrees can be accomplished in three years of schooling in dedicated acupuncture and alternative medicine schools. Students earning Acupuncture Degrees are prepared in the ancient Chinese healing techniques of acupuncture used to treat various diseases and conditions, including illnesses resulting from allergies, occupational stress, emphysema, gastrointestinal stress, arthritis, headaches, depression, hypertension, and much, much more.

Students studying Acupuncture will quickly learn to identify acupuncture points through demonstration, discussion, and hands-on clinical applications of acupuncture techniques. Acupuncture Degrees also emphasize integration of supervised internships in clinical settings.

Acupuncture studies address theoretical and practical issues that develop skills used in acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Various programs for Acupuncture Degrees provide study of varying forms of acupuncture. In the U.S., the curriculum will likely include basic courses in traditional medicine along with courses in Oriental medicines. Students will find themselves in various classes covering the subjects of anatomy, biosciences, and medical terminology, as well as herbal medicine, moxibustion, and acupressure. Acupuncture Degrees may also include studies of nutrition and various kinds of research in alternative healing.

Depending on location of practice and degree of education, entry-level positions for graduates with Acupuncture Degrees can realize annual earnings of $40,000 or more. Experience can soon double and triple that amount.
