Associate Degree in Clinical Massage Therapy

The Associate Degree program, a natural extension of the Massage Therapy Diploma program, affords the student an advanced level of bodywork and clinical training beyond the state minimum standards. It is designed to focus on the development of competent, caring and inspired graduates while continuing to prepare them for licensure. These courses are supplemented with general studies courses in the liberal arts and sciences relevant to bodyworkers.
