Programs List:
Body Therapy Programs - Now Available At All Three Campuses
Pacific College’s Department of Body Therapy offers nearly 50 different courses, seven programs between the different campuses, and substantial specialization in Oriental body therapy. The programs are designed for students desiring a career in the field of body therapy, for health practitioners who want to offer additional modalities to their patients, and for those simply looking for a vocational study. One benefit of Pacific College’s massage program is its close relationship to the college’s Oriental medicine program. Massage students have the satisfaction of attending a training program that utilizes the expertise of an accredited Oriental medical degree program. The massage and Oriental medicine programs may be completed concurrently, allowing students to obtain a Massage License and begin a Massage Therapy practice while still finishing the Oriental medicine degree. Qualified massage students may transfer into the Oriental medicine program as well.
Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine Programs
The purpose of the Master's programs of Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine is to train practitioners of Oriental medicine and to enable them to function as primary, independent health care providers. The program enables graduates to apply the principles of Oriental medicine; to take any California, Illinois, and New York state licensure exam and the national certification examinations; and to become an integral part of the modern health care system as a primary, independent health care providers.
Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (San Diego)
In 2002, the Accreditation Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) approved Pacific College to begin doctoral level training at its San Diego campus. Pacific College has contributed to the development of doctoral standards for the profession for over ten years. Jack Miller, the college’s president, was the chair of the Doctoral Committee of the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM). He coordinated the cooperative efforts of numerous of college administrators, practitioners, and scholars as they developed, debated and refined what eventually led to the Council’s proposal to ACAOM. The Doctoral Committee envisioned colleges developing programs that utilize regional resources and reflect institutional strengths and interests, while attracting cohorts of uniquely qualified students who share those interests. This promises to be an exciting time for the profession. |
