Steps for Choosing a Massage Therapy Program

Learn what to consider when looking for your perfect massage therapy program.

  • Learn about the profession of massage therapy, e.g. different methods of therapy and the particular requirements to practice in your state.
  • Attend an open house or orientation, interview former students, read catalogues, and audit a class.
  • Ask how many students have graduated from their massage therapy program.
  • Learn about a school’s retention rates (percentage of students that remained enrolled and graduated from the same program) and MBLEx pass rates (percentage of graduates who passed the state exam).
  • Find out how long the school has been educating massage therapy.
  • Ask a school how many instructors they have.
  • Inquire about education/experience of the school’s massage instructors. Ask how long have they been teaching massage and how long they have been a licensed massage therapist.
  • Consider your career intentions—determine which program most closely matches your career goals, personality, schedule and budget. Review the curriculum to make sure that the style(s) of massage taught match what you want to learn.
  • Meet with an admissions counselor.
  • Find out whether the educational philosophy of the program and the faculty agree with your own views about health, healing, and the purpose and use of massage therapy.
  • Find out the time requirements for a particular program and when courses are typically scheduled. Make sure your other obligations will allow enough time to study and practice outside of class.
  • Take time to get to know the credentials and experience of the faculty. Request information about student services—post-graduate job placement, tutoring, continuing education and financial aid, to name a few.
  • Receive massage therapy sessions from the faculty, graduates, and/or student clinic.
  • Consider tuition, fees, any other costs, the availability of financial aid, and the quality of the program.
