Program Investment
We've created an Investment Calculator to help students in choosing the right massage therapy program. This tool enables a side-by-side comparison between our full-time 7.5-month program and a part-time 18-month program, clarifying the path to becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist and outlining potential earnings over the next three years.
