Agencies and Disclaimers

State Higher Education Information

In accordance with Regulations 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) and 34 CFR 668.43 (c), ITEA is required to disclose which states our program meets state requirements for professional licensure or certification.

Our Catalog outlines this information and specific state information about licensure requirements is available from the Registrar or by contacting the specific state licensing board to request information. Laws about licensure vary by state and can impact eligibility to practice acupuncture in each state. Graduation from ITEA does not guarantee licensure in any state or minimum earning potential.

ITEA meets the Colorado educational requirements for licensure provided the applicant:

  • Passes the NCCAOM Diplomate of Acupuncture exams (Foundations of Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture and Biomedicine),
  • Passes the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (CCAHM) CNT course and exam,
  • Submits an application to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) Acupuncture Division with proof sent from the NCCAOM of passed exam information.
