None of the above. What you're talking about is primitive medicine which has mostly been shown to not work. It's a superstition. It doesn't actually help people. We've moved way, way beyond that. So taking a few science classes to find out how things actually work and how we determine that is probably a good idea.

please dont mind eri's ignorant answer. Clearly she just does not know better and has never been to a licensed acupuncturist.
in terms of the list you have, it does not really matter. in order to become licensed in chinese medicine (to legally practice using herbs and needles) you will have to complete a 4 year degree from an accredited college. most schools require this to be a BS, but some schools only require a BA or BS. once you complete this, choose a school that is accredited and national recognized in chinese medicine. this will be 4 more years of much more rigorous classes than the first 4 of undergrad. once your done, presto! you will be helping people daily for the rest of your life and will see why i made the comment about the previous post.
good luck!
