Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 My name is Cathrine, and I am about to embark on a career in acupuncture. I am in need of some solid, objective advice. Since I have no one here to pose it to, I have turned to this communtity for help. I would appreciate any and all comments - please feel free to email me or post your replies here. I thank you in advance. Last week, after much debate, I finally decided to send in my application to a local acupuncture school. I was wrongly under the impression that after attending this school for three years, I would have a Masters Degree in Acupuncture. However, this school offers a " master's level diploma in Acupuncture " , which has been explained to me as a certification - not an academic (traditional) Master's Degree. I do appreciate that they are an accredited school, but I am very concerned about spending over $40k for a certificate. Does this hold the same weight as a degree? Will I be able to use this to go on to a doctorate program in the future, or will I be forced to spend more money to begin such an endeavor? My biggest concern is legitimacy, and I am now afraid that this program, while it may be adequate, is just not all it is cracked up to be. Thank you so much. - Cathrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
