NYCTCM Announces Preadmission Assistance Program
Beginning Fall term 2008, NYCTCM will launch a special program designed to encourage enrollment by students interested in studying TCM and who have at least 51 college credits but who are unable to pass the school’s English language competency requirement.
Such students will be admitted to the school as non-matriculated students and will study ESL and TOEFL-preparation courses offered on-site while at the same time being able to take bioscience prerequisite courses and various courses from the Acupuncture or OM Program curriculum such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Foundations of Tui Na, Medical Terminology, and History and Philosophy of Chinese Medicine. Credit earned from such courses will transfer towards the Masters degree once the student achieves the level of English competency that allows him or her to matriculate in the Acupuncture or OM Program. For more information email
or call NYCTCM Admissions at 516-739-1545.
