Approximately 15% of the current AIMC Berkeley student body transferred from other acupuncture schools. Transfer students come to AIMC for a variety of reasons. They may be relocating, looking for a different class schedule and internship opportunities, or simply want to change schools. What they share is a passion for acupuncture and integrative medicine and a determination to succeed. Please call the Admissions department (510)-224-3178 or email admissionsinfo@aimc.edu today if you are considering coming to us from another program. We can easily give you a preliminary evaluation and help you know what transferring into our program might look like for you. For transfer applicants from non-CAB approved schools, please apply first and then request a transfer evaluation. We’re happy to help you make the transition as easy as possible!

Official transfer credit evaluations are provided by the Academic Department once a student applies and submits all official transcripts. The transfer evaluation fee is $100.

Non-degree seekers are students from the C.A.B. tutorial program or are enrolled at other acupuncture schools. Non-matriculating students are limited to taking up to 12 units at AIMC before being required to apply for transfer into our program. No exceptions. AIMC reserves the right to refuse admission to any non-degree seeker. We do not offer preliminary transcript evaluation services to non-degree seekers. Pre-requisites will be evaluated only after the application is complete. No exceptions. Application and registration must be completed in full by the priority application deadline.

Non-degree application checklist:

• Non-Degree Seeker Application with $100 application fee (non-waivable/non-refundable)
