The Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded as the Texas Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1990. It became a candidate for accreditation in 1994 and was accredited in 1996. The following year, the school changed its name and was authorized and recognized by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners as an approved school offering an approved program in Oriental Medicine.
The Oriental medicine program at TCTCM has been carefully constructed to ensure that our graduates receive the highest possible quality education, that they are fully eligible upon graduation to apply for licensure in Texas and many other states, that with appropriate preparation they will be successful taking the licensure examination, and that they will have every opportunity to be personally and financially successful as practitioners.
To this end, we have constructed a demanding and intensive program of study. The curriculum is designed to meet the requirements of the state of Texas, the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and the National Certification Commission processes. We have not added unnecessary and costly courses or any other requirements which do not support this essential objective. This enables students to complete the ten-trimester course requirements as efficiently and economically as possible.
