Authorizations
New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is authorized by the New York State Education Department to award the combined degrees of Bachelor of Professional Studies in Health Science / Master of Science in Acupuncture and Bachelor of Professional Studies in Health Science / Master of Science in Acupuncture with Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Graduates from a Bachelor’s degree program alone are not considered to have graduated with an ACAHM accredited or pre-accredited degree and may not rely on ACAHM accreditation or pre-accreditation for professional licensure or other purposes.
Therefore, the Bachelor of Professional Studies is not awarded by NYCTCM as a stand-alone degree and is only awarded at the completion of the combined degrees.
