About the college

Dongguk Royal University has a rich history that dates back to the 1970’s. In 1976, Dr. Harvart R. Hongo began teaching acupuncture and Oriental medicine in his own private practice. Three short years later and the Royal University of America was founded and began teaching higher learning with the elements of acupuncture and oriental medicine. In 1997, that university merged with the College of Oriental Medicine to give us the university that we have today.
