Alternative medicine is growing in popularity, and now is the perfect time to pursue an education in traditional Chinese health care. The Acupuncture and Massage College of Miami offers unique academics for students who want to find a different way to treat patients.
AMC currently offers programs in Massage Therapy and Oriental Medicine. The Oriental Medicine program combines Western science, homeopathy and Chinese methods like acupuncture and qigong. This program is three years of full-time study.
The Massage Therapy program is just 720 hours. The curriculum focuses on Shiatsu and Qigong, but students also learn Swedish and Medical Massage, as well as Cranial Sacral Therapy.

Students who qualify can apply for federal financial aid programs or private student loans. AMC does not fund scholarships or loan programs.
