    BSc Programs in Acupuncture

    A Bachelor of Science, often abbreviated BSc, provides the initial framework for a subject, often leading to further study and earning advanced degrees such as a master’s or doctorate. A Bachelor of Science typically takes three to five years to complete, depending on your school or course load.

    What is a BSc in Acupuncture? It is the initial step in becoming a certified practitioner because many areas require the completion of a master’s degree for certification. While studying the science of acupuncture, students can expect to focus on the history and philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, or TCM. In addition to learning the theories behind acupuncture, students will also gain practical hands-on experience with the techniques.

    With the popularity of alternative medicine on the rise, graduates with a degree in acupuncture can expect a steadily growing job market with solid earning potential. Aside from its economic benefits, practicing acupuncture also has the added benefit of actively helping people.

    The cost of higher education varies widely by institution and by country. The typical bachelor's degree needs four years, on average, to complete. Financial aid and student loans can often help offset the costs of earning a degree.

    Following the completion of a Bachelor of Science in Acupuncture, students should expect to pursue a career in health care. After obtaining the degree and appropriate certifications, graduates are prepared to work in a variety of health care settings or even to open their own independent practice. Since alternative medicine takes a holistic approach to care, graduates are also well versed in nutrition and herbal medicine and can incorporate both topics into their work as well.

    Studying acupuncture is an excellent opportunity for individuals to learn and apply holistic healing in their community. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
