The Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university. The Academy may grant academic credit for a course taken previously, provided it was completed at:
- a university or college accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education;
- a post-secondary educational institution approved or authorized by an appropriate governmental agency in the jurisdiction in which it is located,
- or a program approved by the California Acupuncture Board and accredited by ACAHM and if the course name, credits, and necessary course descriptions indicate that the course meets the requirement of the Academy.
Up to 50% of the program’s total credit requirements may be transfered when transferring from an Acupuncture Board and/or BPPE approved or ACAHM accredited school. Of that 50%, no more than 25% of the program clinical training requirements may be accepted as transfer credit. The maximum credit for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) transfer courses from a school not approved by the Acupuncture Board (must be BPPE approved) is 50% of the ACCHS curriculum (MAcCHM) or required individual courses or subjects. 100% maximum transfer credit may be awarded for an applicant’s corequisite Western medical science courses from an institution that is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
Up to 100% of transfer credit may be awarded for courses completed successfully in basic sciences and clinical medicine at a school which is approved under Article 4 (commencing with Section 94770) of Chapter 7 of Part 59 of the Education Code or by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
Up to 50% credit, by transfer or challenge exam, for clinical practice coursework and instruction in acupuncture and Oriental medicine principles, theories and treatment procedures completed successfully at a school which is not approved by the Acupuncture Board may be awarded by a school approved by the Acupuncture Board, provided that at least 50% of the course hours in individual subjects are completed successfully at a school approved by the Acupuncture Board.
Any student who wishes to transfer prior credit must submit a written Transfer Credit Form to the program administrator for review and receive approval within the first year of enrollment in the program. In addition:
