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.
