The Won Institute has thus been approved as the first school in Pennsylvania to offer a program in Acupuncture Studies, leading to a Master of Acupuncture (M.Ac.) degree.

To fulfill the mission, the following are the Institute’s goals: Won Institute of Graduate Studies offers graduate programs devoted to the systematic study and practical application of the mind/body/spirit connection within Buddhist perspective and theory. The goal of the Won Institute of Graduate Studies is to prepare graduates to actualize their spiritual development and to use it for the benefit of society. The Won Institute of Graduate Studies is committed to a strong faculty who are willing to harness their collective wisdom and to increase their collective knowledge in order to support one another’s learning and to build an effective curriculum. Graduate education is promoted through intensive study and practice not only in the specifics of a Buddhist perspective, but also through the investigation and integration of other spiritual and philosophical perspectives. The Won Institute of Graduate Studies was born 30 years ago with the vision of the Venerable Taesan (also spelled as Daesan), the Third Head Dharma Master of Won Buddhism.
