Visit Five Branches

The best way to experience Five Branches University is to visit. We invite you to meet the individuals who are the essence of our community and to immerse yourself in the environment of our classrooms and health centers, rich in the beauty and culture of Chinese medicine.

We welcome you to explore our coastal campus in Santa Cruz, California where our TCM Master’s daytime program and health center have resided for over a quarter of a century. Santa Cruz is renowned for its beautiful beaches and redwood forests, fresh ocean air, mild weather and year-round cultural and recreational activities.

In the heart of Silicon Valley, our San Jose campus resides in a modern high-rise office building located across from the prestigious Santana Row, within walking distance of sidewalk cafes, luxury shops and beautiful fountains. A welcoming courtyard leads you to the Health Center and University where our TCM Master’s degree is offered in both daytime and evening programs, in three languages: English, Chinese and Korean. While on campus, review our doctoral program schedule of events, providing licensed acupuncturists the opportunity to train with TCM and Western medicine experts from China and Stanford University.
