MT - Massage Therapy (Cert)

The massage program is designed to be completed in eight months (30 weeks of instruction) and is 600 Clock hours in length. This is the typical amount most students take to complete the program. However, students that need to extend their time of study will have a maximum of 12 months of continual enrollment to complete the program. If a student takes a leave of absence from the program for any reason, the amount of time remaining for the student to complete the program will be calculated from the last date of attendance. If a student's leave of absence exceeds 36 months, the student will be required to repeat the entire program. If a student has interrupted their education at Parker University School of Massage or any other massage school for more than three years, no credit will be given for the previous course work upon readmission. Former students must also meet all current admission requirements.

The Massage Therapy program major courses are on ground at the Parker University Campus with some clinical component offerings being available off campus at events (i.e., chair massage, sports massage events, etc.) but these offerings are voluntary to the student.

Parker University’s Certificate in Massage Therapy (CMT) program is also offered in a Dual Language format. In-class lectures, handouts, and assessments are presented in Spanish. Most textbooks are in English as well as students need conversational English skills to interact with clients in the Intern clinic. All curriculum content is the same for all methods of delivery.
