History
Texas Health and Science University was founded as the Texas Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1990. It was the first school in Texas approved by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners to provide instruction in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In 1997, the school was granted authority by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners to award the Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree and changed its name to Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In April 2005, the College was granted a Certificate of Authority by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to award the Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree with a major in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. The Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine program of the University has been carefully constructed to ensure that our graduates receive the highest quality education possible; that they will have every opportunity to be personally and financially successful as practitioners.
