PURPOSE
The College prepares professional acupuncture and
Oriental medicine practitioners who, after fulfilling
state requirements, which typically require passing
National Board examinations, are technically proficient
and have a deep understanding, sensitivity, insight, and
intuition into a patient's physical, emotional,
intellectual, energetic, and spiritual health needs.
Professional practitioners are trained within the
context of Taoist heritage, philosophy, and traditions
rooted in the Six Taoist Arts of the Chou Dynasty, which
are an essential component of the College and the
Foundation.
Mission
The College was established to provide
quality education for all qualified persons wishing to
become professional practitioners of acupuncture and
oriental medicine within the Taoist philosophical and
holistic health heritage practiced at Tai Hsuan
Foundation.
Educational Objectives
Consistent with our purpose, the College has
adopted educational objectives that provide measurable
traits/qualities that we expect students to attain by
the time they graduate. These objectives are relatively
broad and give general guidance for the development of
the curriculum and the measure of its success. Our
