Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture

What are the graduation rates for students at Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture?

Conventional four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation-rate measures do not provide a useful account of ITEA's graduate acupuncture students. Those measures follow defined undergraduate entry cohorts, whereas ITEA's applicants are considering a professional graduate program.

More relevant questions are how long the current degree is designed to take, how many recent students completed it within that period, and whether clinical requirements commonly extend enrollment. Applicants comparing schools should ask for completion figures that identify the cohort, degree, and measurement period; otherwise, apparently similar percentages may describe different groups.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture?

No school-specific graduate earnings figure should be treated as a reliable salary expectation for an ITEA applicant. Income from acupuncture practice can vary substantially with location, hours worked, employment versus self-employment, the cost of running a practice, and time spent building a patient base.

If the school supplies an earnings or employment survey, ask whether it reports a median or an average, when graduates were surveyed, how many responded, and whether the figure represents wages or business revenue. Revenue from a private practice is not take-home pay: expenses and taxes must be considered separately.
