Admission Information for International Students

Like all prospective students an international student must first submitt an application with the required supporting documentation to the NYCTCM admissions office. Your application is reviewed to determine if you have the qualifications to enroll. An international student must provide a TOEFL score as part of the supporting documentation ( internet based test score of 65 is required ) to NYCTCM.

If you meet the requirements to enroll we will issue a letter of acceptance offering you admission to the program. At that time we will also request that you complete and notarize a financial statement to document financial resources available to cover your first year tuition and related school expenses plus living expenses.

NYCTCM does not have dormitories. All students live off campus and commute to school. You will need to obtain off campus housing on your own. When your admission file information is complete and we have your financial statement we will issue the I20 to be used for you to secure your visa.

TCM FInally Honored by FDA

FDA has acknowledged that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is part of an efficacious and complete medical system as involving "whole systems of theory and practice that have evolved independently from or parallel to allopathic (conventional) medicine."

The newly-released Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and their Regulation by FDA had not included traditional medicine in its compilation of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) but now traditional medicine including TCM has finally gained the same level of respect as conventional Western medicine.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) in association with FDA said that complete medical systems such as TCM reflect cultural diversity and the innate healing properties of the body, and represents healing techniques which tap the mind, body and spirit.

Chen Keji from the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine applauded FDA's acceptance of TCM theory and of its curative function, adding that this had come after the popularity of CAM in the US.
