Accreditation Disclosure
Traditional Chinese Medicine Programs
In 1990, Texas Health and Science University was founded as the Texas Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a single-purpose institution for the training of acupuncturists. In 1993, Texas passed legislation creating the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners, and the school was approved by this new Board. In 1994, the school’s accreditation process began with the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (ACAHM); the school was accredited in 1996 and has been continuously re-accredited.
In 1997, the school was granted authority by the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners to award the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) degree as the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2013, the school name changed to Texas Health & Science University, in support of health as an integrative East-West medicine, and to award the degree of Master in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MSAOM). In January 2023, ACAHM approved awarding the Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (MAcCHM).
