About Us

The Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine started its first class in January, 1990.  It is the oldest school of acupuncture and Oriental medicine in Texas.  The college is a member of the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM). It is also an institutional member of the National Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Alliance (NAOMA), and the Texas Association of Acupuncturists (TAOA).

The Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree program at the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). ACAOM is the recognized accrediting agency for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has granted a Certificate of Authority to the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to award the degree of Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree with major in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. This certificate is a license to operate in the State of Texas and does not constitute accreditation; the issuance of this certificate attests only to an institution having met the Board standards established for nonexempt institutions.

The college is approved for Federal Title IV Financial Aid, Veteran's Training and Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services.
