Established in 1982 as one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the United States, the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences (ACCHS) in Oakland, California, is highly regarded for its specialized graduate programs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The academy offers rigorous Master’s and Doctoral degrees in acupuncture and herbal medicine, seamlessly blending classical Chinese healing philosophies with contemporary Western health sciences. Student life is deeply community-oriented, centered around an on-campus clinic where students gain invaluable, hands-on clinical experience by providing affordable healthcare to the local Oakland population. Distinctively, ACCHS is one of the few institutions to offer its comprehensive curriculum in both English and Chinese, allowing students the unique opportunity to study foundational medical texts in their original linguistic context.
