About Careers at Whitewater University of California
Careers at Whitewater University of California run the spectrum from clinical-track faculty (acupuncture, TCM, herbology) to academic faculty (computer science, business, ESL) to administrative roles in HR, finance, and student services. We are a non-profit university in San Jose offering graduate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Computer Science Engineering, and English as a Second Language.
Most careers at Whitewater University of California positions are filled by people who bring both academic credentials and active clinical or industry practice in their field — WUC is small enough that faculty work closely with senior leadership and have direct input into curriculum decisions.
WUC is ACCSC-accredited and CAB-approved (California Acupuncture Board) for licensure preparation. The campus operates an on-site TCM Medical Center where clinical-track faculty supervise student practitioners alongside their teaching load.
