Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Technician

The Massage Therapy program is designed to prepare the student with a strong foundation on which to build a successful career as a competent entry-level massage therapist. A well-rounded curriculum offers the student knowledge of the structure and function of the human body blended with hands-on techniques used in therapeutic massage and a variety of specialized modalities. Because of the wide range of opportunities for the graduate, the program also focuses on the business aspects of a massage practice and the skills necessary for the student to begin a rewarding practice of their own. This program prepares students for licensure in the State of Rhode Island and Massachusetts and graduates will be adequately prepared to begin their role as a successful independent practitioner in the healthcare community, sports clinics, or day spas. Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignment in each course, except externship. This program is eligible for Pell Grant.
