Massage Therapy & Bodywork Certificate

The certificate program provides an opportunity to students who wish to become massage and bodywork practitioners who either already have a college degree or who do not wish to pursue a degree in higher education. It encompasses adequate contact hours so that students are eligible to take the national certification examination.

Courses are available periodically in select locations around the state. Programs will begin in Morrisville in summer 2009 and in Burlington in summer 2010. The cohorts must meet minimum enrollment to run. Contact an advisor for details.

Massage program students are required by the State of Vermont to provide documentation of immunizations. Click here for more information.
