The DTCM/DAc Bridge Completion Program is available to licensed acupuncturists who have earned a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Traditional Chinese Medicine or Acupuncture. A transfer credit evaluation will be performed to ensure that your previous studies meet the Five Branches Bridge Program standards.

Upon review of your transcripts, additional corequisites such as General Biology, Psychology and Chemistry may be required. If you have studied abroad, had an unconventional education, or do not have an undergraduate degree, please send your unofficial transcripts to the admissions office for pre-qualification evaluation.
