Wellness and holistic health are the future of health care. New York College of Health Professions, a leader in holistic health education for more than 30 years, offers accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the fast-growing fields of massage therapy, acupuncture and Oriental medicine, and certification in holistic nursing for RNs. New York College of Health Professions is the only non-profit, private institutionally accredited college of its kind in the New York metropolitan area.
“Even if you have a busy life or have been out of school for a while, New York College makes it easy for you to go back,” says Barbara Carver, senior vice president. The campus is in Syosset, Long Island, and there are three additional locations in Manhattan (on the Upper West Side, in midtown, and downtown in the SoHo/LES area). Students can attend classes in multiple locations and all are easily reached by public transportation.
The College features flexible day, evening and weekend, full-time or part-time schedules and financial aid and scholarships to those qualified, which can pay for tuition and living expenses while enrolled. There are also special rebates for transfer students, veterans’ benefits, and foreign students are welcome. The faculty is comprised of many doctoral-level instructors, as well as experienced licensed practitioners.
At New York College, you can earn an accredited associate degree and become a licensed massage therapist in as little as two years. Or you can enter the dually accredited master’s degree programs in acupuncture or Oriental medicine and practice the arts of Traditional Chinese Medicine that have been around for more than 5,000 years. New York State has just approved doctoral programs for acupuncture and Oriental medicine, and New York College will be applying to offer these degrees in the near future. New York College licensing pass rates are among the highest in both massage therapy and acupuncture.
Many of our dedicated students are going back to school to change their lives by entering these rewarding careers. As a licensed health care professional, you will have the training and knowledge that will be of value to you and your patients. New York College has an excellent job placement rate; our graduates have gone on to open their own businesses, or work with spas, wellness centers, medical offices, hospitals, resorts and sports teams. Learn more at an upcoming open house at any of our four convenient locations. The schedule and addresses are on our website. New York College is currently enrolling for February, May and September classes.
