MCPHS University will bring the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) from Newton to downtown Worcester and along with it over 120 employees as well as 200 students and numerous clients.
The school will move to the MCPHS downtown campus, according to a statement from University President Charles F. Monahan Jr. The move would bring the school’s numerous students and clients downtown.
"We are focusing on downtown Worcester as the place for the future growth of MCPHS University. We are also excited to play a part in the revitalization of downtown Worcester,” Monahan said.
Renovations to the building at 19 Norwich Street are scheduled to be completed by July 2016 in order to receive students, faculty, and staff for the Fall 2016 semester.
NESA was acquired in June of 2015, retaining its name but coming under the MCPHS umbrella. NESA is the first school of acupuncture in the United States and offers Master’s degrees in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, including a dual Master’s degree in Pain Management in collaboration with Tufts University School of Medicine. In addition to its degree programs, NESA operates a Chinese herbal medicine store and has more than 8,000 patient visits a year in its teaching center on its Newton campus. Both the Chinese herbal medicine store and the acupuncture teaching center will also be relocated to the building at 19 Norwich Street in Worcester.
