The Intensive Two-Year Intensive Acupuncture Diploma Program and the Three-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program share the same curriculum; the major difference is the timelines. In the Intensive Two-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program, the clinical requirements run concurrent to the classroom and practical classes. In the Three-Year Acupuncture Diploma Program, the clinical requirements are fulfilled in a third year solely dedicated to clinical practice. Students are required to attend evening and weekend clinics during the school year and can earn a minimum of 20 clinic hours per week during the summer months.
