Earn your Master of Acupuncture Degree (MAc)

As one of only a handful of programs in the Midwest, our Acupuncture program is among the most respected and least expensive in the country. It is also one of the shortest, which means our students quickly acquire the strong clinical skills they need to pass national certification exams, apply for licensure, and get a strong start on their career as a primary healthcare practitioner.

AIAM is a cost-conscious entry into the Acupuncture profession.

The Benefits of a Career in Acupuncture

Licensed acupuncturists have many opportunities open to them, all offering a calmer and more flexible setting than those found in a traditional hospital or clinic. Some acupuncturists choose to work in health and wellness centers, clinics, spas, or even on cruise ships, while others choose to start their own practice. Experienced acupuncturists can potentially earn an average of $82,390 per year. More detailed salary information is available at U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Your AIAM Master’s degree can be your entrance to a rewarding career, and it can also be a stepping stone into further education. If desired, AIAM graduates are normally eligible for admission at all other Herbal certificate programs and/or Doctorate programs throughout the U.S.

Sarah Nichols – 2018 Graduate

Professional Master’s Level Acupuncture Program

“When I was in the massage program, I got acupuncture for the first time. I loved it! It worked wonders for me. I looked into the acupuncture program and got accepted in 2016. It was meant to be in every way!

If I had not gotten acupuncture as a massage student I could’ve missed out on this grand adventure. You never know when small things in your life, like getting an acupuncture treatment, can change the whole course of your future.”
