The Master of Oriental Medicine degree program is designed to provide highly-motivated students with an opportunity to pursue a career in this rapidly growing field. While the program stresses the traditional Chinese approach to Oriental medicine, students are exposed to the influence that Korea, Japan, and India have contributed to the discipline.

The Master of Oriental Medicine Program subscribes to an educational philosophy that is a marriage of Oriental and Occidental philosophies of teaching and learning where each student is viewed as being gifted. With humanistic understanding ecah student's gifts will find their full expression and the use of intellect to discover what we may become is the essence of humanistic study. To release one's gifts is to adopt a holistic view, acknowledging the individual's capacity for self-actualization, choice, growth and spirituality. The implementation of such a teaching-learning model demands that individuals be considered in their many inseparable dimensions: body, mind and spirit and in their social, cultural and environmental contexts.

As a mode of education, this approach combines cognitive and methodological skills with affective and intuitive skills. It recognizes maturity and effectiveness are manifestations of perspective, experience and knowledge.

Focusing on the cultivation of professional expertise and personal development, the fundamental purpose of the Master of Oriental Medicine program is to promote excellence in Oriental Medicine. The expectations we have for students in the Master of Oriental Medicine program are high and students must be disciplined, willing to dedicate themselves to rigorous academic study, and resolve to attain complete development spirituality, as well as, intellectually.

Graduates of the Master of Oriental Medicine program will have the intellectual skills to understand allopathic, biomedical, evidence-based, and complimentary care practices and will be able to fulfill leadership roles in establishing new systems to disseminate research findings to health-care practitioners and consumers of health and healing.
