The second factor that you need to take into consideration is where the school is located. There is a number of acupuncture schools located right across the globe. Try to find acupuncture schools that are located in an area where you will enjoy living for a long time, and where you can see yourself eventually opening a practice. You should be aware that different states have different certification and licensing requirements; as such, acupuncture schools will follow the rules of the state in which they are located.
