Massage Therapy Diploma Program - Curriculum

Massage Therapy—A Hands-On Curriculum

With our nine-month⁽¹⁾ Massage Therapy Diploma Program, students receive personalized instruction from instructors with real-world experience. The curriculum is designed to teach students how to apply hands-on (manual) therapeutic massage techniques and adjunctive therapies to positively affect the health and well-being of the client. Our program consists of eight learning units called modules.

Once you complete the first seven modules, you’ll participate in an externship at the on-campus Massage Therapy Clinic to gain practical, hands-on experience by performing massages on clients.⁽²⁾ Additionally, the curriculum helps to prepare students for the exam to become a certified massage therapist.
