New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) has received approval from the state's Board of Regents to establish upstate New York's first Master of Science programs in acupuncture and Oriental medicine.
NYCC's new programs will offer coursework leading to MS degrees in acupuncture or acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Graduates will be eligible to take state licensure examinations for the practice of acupuncture.
The college is currently accepting applications for the new programs which are scheduled to begin in September 2003 with an expected initial class of approximately 40 students. Students will need at least 90 college credit hours to be eligible for enrollment in the master's programs
For undergraduate students who qualify for NYCC's chiropractic or acupuncture programs, the college will offer a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree. Open enrollment for the bachelor's program also began in January.
In other news, NYCC recently announced its intention to move forward with plans to create the Seneca Chiropractic Health Center, described by the college as an "on-campus integrated health facility." Preparations for the center are already underway, including demolition and remodeling of parts of the Seneca Dormitory to make room for the new 4,000-square-foot outpatient clinic.
The center is scheduled for completion and commencement of operations by September 1. For additional information on NYCC's new course programs, or the new campus health center, contact the college at (800) 234-6922.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
