The Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine is New Jersey's first school of acupuncture. Founded in 1997, the College is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), the organization sets and maintains the standards for acupuncture schools nationwide. Graduates receive a Master's in Acupuncture (M.Ac.) and are qualified for the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) exam, a prerequisite for state licensure. The Eastern School is located in the township of Bloomfield. Our central location, and proximity to major highways, provides easy access for New Jersey residents, as well as those living in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New York.
