Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine

What is the accreditation of Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

Accreditation is especially consequential for an acupuncture program because it can affect educational recognition and professional eligibility. Institutional information identifies the Accrediting Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, or ACAOM; the accreditor now uses the name Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, or ACAHM.

An older reference to ACAOM does not, by itself, establish the Racine campus's current accreditation status or the status of every credential. Before enrolling, check ACAHM's current institutional listing for the campus, approved programs, status, and effective dates. Also verify the educational requirements of the state in which you intend to seek licensure. Accreditation, eligibility for federal aid, acceptance of transfer credit, and licensure are related but separate determinations; none should be inferred solely from the college's name.

What are the admission requirements at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

Admission to Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine is not described as open admission. Requirements should be checked for the specific credential: an applicant entering a professional program may face different prerequisites from someone entering undergraduate study.

Ask admissions for the current application and catalog requirements, including prior college coursework, official transcripts, any prerequisite subjects, English-language proficiency rules when applicable, and clinical-program requirements. Obtain the applicable deadline before submitting materials. Do not assume that conventional first-year measures such as SAT scores determine admission to a specialized professional program.

What are the application fees and waivers at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

The reported application fee is $65. Applicants should confirm the fee shown on the current application before paying, particularly if different credentials use different application procedures.

Application fees are separate from tuition and any enrollment deposit. Anyone seeking a fee waiver should ask the admissions office whether one is offered, who qualifies, and whether approval must be obtained before the application is submitted.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

ROTC should not be assumed to be an on-campus option at this specialized institution. A student interested in Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC would need to establish whether a host university permits cross-enrollment and whether Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine coursework fits that unit's eligibility rules.

ROTC scholarships, participation, and eventual service obligations are governed by the relevant military program and host institution, not by proximity alone. Confirm a formal arrangement before including ROTC in an enrollment or financing plan.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

Transfer applicants should distinguish admission from transfer-credit approval. Acceptance into a program does not mean every previous course will satisfy its curriculum, especially where clinical instruction or professional standards are involved.

Request a written evaluation using official transcripts and, when asked, course descriptions or syllabi. The evaluation should identify accepted credits, how they apply to specific requirements, remaining clinical hours, and the estimated time to completion. Students moving from another acupuncture program should also ask whether prior supervised practice can be recognized.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine-Racine?

International study should not be presumed to be part of the Racine program. Applicants interested in overseas clinical observation or coursework should first determine whether a current college-approved opportunity exists and whether it carries credit toward their credential.

Before committing to an outside program, obtain written academic approval and clarify supervision, insurance, travel costs, and any implications for required clinical hours. An independently arranged trip is not automatically equivalent to approved clinical training.
