Massage Therapy
Program Philosophy
The Massage Therapy Program is built on coursework that develops the ability in students to think independently,
to weigh values, to understand fundamental theory, and to develop skills for massage therapy practice, including
critical thinking and communication. With a strong competency-based foundation, continued education, and experience,
the number of competencies should be adequate for entry-level and those existing competencies develop into proficiencies
in a lifelong continuum.
Program Mission

while fostering attitudes toward life long education and development of skills.
