Massage Therapy Degree and Certificate

The Massage Therapy Two-Year Certificate of Completion develops skills that include a variety of massage techniques and modalities, maintaining client and business records, adhering to client/practitioner boundaries and ethics, client communication, and universal sanitation practices. The program integrates sciences related to the human body with massage therapy theory and practice.  
 
The certificate can be completed in four terms. Students have two opportunities to enter the program each year: a Fall term day program and a Spring term evening program. Most students complete the certificate at the end of the same term the following year (i.e., a student starting Fall term would complete in Fall term the following year). Successful completion of all program courses in a term is required before moving to the next term. Students may take non-program courses before or after program enrollment. The certificate qualifies students to sit for licensing exams the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists requires. The program is accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA) and program outcomes were developed as a result of the standards set by COMTA.
