Educational training in traditional medicine promotes a comprehensive understanding of the practices and skills associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine. This might include herbal remedies and acupuncture. Students may learn the ancient philosophical and cultural concepts of TCM along with more modern clinical applications.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher mastery of the subject. Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
