A Message from the President 

Welcome to Texas Health and Science University (THSU), which is located near downtown Austin. I’m honored to be just the second president of THSU since our founding in 1990.

THSU aims to advance the high standards of the acupuncture profession and the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the United States.  

The THSU Mission is three-fold: 1) to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills in the clinical therapies and applications of Traditional Chinese Medicine; 2) to educate leaders that will become an integral part of the modern healthcare system in their communities; and 3) to develop and apply knowledge of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine through research, best patient care practices, and community service and outreach. 

THSU is committed to confronting the academic challenges and addressing the urgent needs of the profession of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in the 21st century.
