The mixture of Western science and Eastern philosophy, as well as the mixture of book
and experience-based learning, is evident from simply glancing at the catalog. For instance, in
the acupuncture and Oriental medicine degree program, students take active classes such as
Chinese massage and Tai Chi, but also study organic chemistry, meridians and points, and
diagnosis. To complete their education, students do their clinical training at Bastyr Center for Natural
Health, making use of the fully stocked Chinese herbal dispensary. Not an easy course
load, but definitely rewarding in the end.
