The consent of the Board of Regents to the
filing of a certificate of incorporation under Business Corporation Law §402 was
granted on November 6, 1998. The
corporation inadvertently dissolved on August 23, 2004. The board of directors has reapplied for
the consent of the Board of Regents, pursuant to Education Law §§224 and 6506(3)
and Regents Rules §§3.29 and 3.46, and of the Commissioner of Education, to the
filing of a certificate of incorporation under Business Corporation Law (BCL)
§402 to operate a college offering Bachelor of Professional Studies/Master of
Science (B.P.S./M.S.) degree programs in acupuncture and Oriental medicine which
will qualify candidates for examinations leading to licensure in acupuncture,
and for authority to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Professional Studies
(B.P.S.) and Master of Science (M.S.). The board of trustees has also requested
that the Board of Regents consent to the filing of a certificate of amendment of
such certificate of incorporation to authorize the corporation to also operate
Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) and Bachelor of Professional Studies
(B.P.S.) degree programs which will qualify candidates for examinations leading
to licensure in massage therapy, and for authority to confer the degree of
Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.). The Office of the Professions recommends
that the Regents consent to the filing of such certificate of incorporation and
to the filing of such certificate of amendment, and that authority for the
College to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Professional Studies (B.P.S.),
Master of Science (M.S.) and Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) be
granted.
