About YUIN

Introduction

Yuin University was founded on March 1, 1981 by Henry Yu, Ph.D. in the city of Baldwin Park, California. The grand opening was held on December 5, 1981 with the mayor of the city of Baldwin Park. Over 200 Baldwin Park residents were in attendance including Miss Baldwin Park. In September of 1981, Yuin University received its full authorization from the Califormia State Department of Public Instruction for its graduate and undergraduate degree programs. In October 1982, Yuin University received Acupuncture Vocational Certificate course approval from the California State Department of Public Instruction. In May 1983, the school became affiliated with The National Council of Acupuncture Schools and Colleges, an Acupuncture Accreditation Association heading toward Federal Government recognition. The University voluntarily withdrew membership in 1985.

Yuin University is a private, international, and independent institute of higher education consisting of the School of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, the School of Business Administration, and the School of Theology. The School of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine provides a classroom based on traditional instruction. However, the School of Theology and Business Administration provide a non-traditional independent study system of education. Yuin University provides undergraduate and graduate educational opportunities. Course work is offered for both resident and non-resident students. Resident student programs consist of traditional classroom study, seminars, and field word. For non-resident students, we provide an off campus program of guided independent study. Non-resident students are welcome to use all the facilities of Yuin University and to come and consult with their advisor and professors. In all other ways, they have all the rights and privileges of Yuin University’s resident students.

Mission

The School of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine provides a classroom based non-traditional education and training which will prepare students for the professional practice of Acupuncture and Oriental Herbal Science in the United States.

The School of Theology provides higher learning and continuing education for church pastors, religious leaders, and missionaries without leaving their current ministries in which they were involved, through an independent study program.

The School of Business Administration provides effective educational programs primarily directed to fully employed, highly motivated men and women who have the sincere desire to increase their job security, to improve their career prospects, and to accelerate their personal development without leaving their present jobs, through an independent study program.
