Licensure Disclosure

 

Wongu University is authorized to conduct courses, grant a Master’s degree and credits toward the degree, and to use certain academic terms in the State of Nevada by the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education (CPE). The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture, and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) certification is one of the requirements for the practice of acupuncture and East Asian medicine in Nevada and other states that regulate acupuncture and East Asian medicine except for California, while California Acupuncture Board (CAB) licensure is required for the practice of acupuncture and East Asian medicine in California. The curriculum provided by Wongu University is approved by the Nevada State Board of Oriental Medicine and the CAB to prepare graduates to sit for the exams of California board and all NCCAOM certification modules after successful completion of the degree program.

 

Although the program curriculum offered by Wongu University meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification for Nevada, California, and a few other states, there may be additional licensure requirements mandated by other states. Students are advised to contact the appropriate agency in the state they intend to practice for information on specific licensure or certification requirements.

Most states require applicants to have completed a program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (ACAHM). The states of Alabama, Oklahoma, and South Dakota currently do not have an established statutory act for practicing acupuncture and East Asian medicine. As such, the degree may not qualify for practicing acupuncture and East Asian medicine, or the practice would be unregulated or regulated under another board or agency in these three states.

 

Below is a summary of the states where the program meets or is not yet determined to meet the educational requirements for professional licensure. This list is updated yearly or as needed. Please be aware that state requirements may change at any time.
