The usual four- and six-year undergraduate graduation-rate measures are a poor basis for evaluating a graduate-focused acupuncture college. The available historical enrollment figures recorded no first-time, degree-seeking undergraduates in 2024-25.
A more relevant comparison would follow entrants to the exact professional program through completion, clinical training, and any licensing examinations. Those are distinct outcomes: completing a degree does not automatically mean passing an examination or receiving a license.
Income after an acupuncture degree depends on factors that a school-wide salary claim cannot capture, including licensure, location, employment setting, hours worked, and the costs of establishing a practice. Self-employed practitioners' receipts are especially different from take-home pay after business expenses.
When comparing programs, ask whether an earnings figure describes all former students or only those with recorded wages, and whether it is a median or an average. A measurement taken one year after graduation would also describe an early career stage, not long-term earning potential. No particular salary should be treated as an expected return on tuition.
