About Our Program

The Massage Therapy School at the Community College of Baltimore County prepares our graduates to become Licensed Massage Therapists in the state of Maryland.

Our program leads to an Associate Degree in Applied Science and is designed to prepare students to work as professional Massage Therapists in a variety of health settings and equip them with the additional skills required to be a holistically trained member of allied health and integrative medicine teams. Our students receive a well rounded education in Massage Therapy with a strong foundation in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Myofacial Massage. Studies include anatomy and physiology, Musculoskeletal anatomy, pathology, massage therapy research, medical terminology, clinical skills, and much more.

The program was approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission in November 2000 and is accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA).CCBC Essex also offers NCBTMB approved continuing education courses which also meet the license renewal requirements for Maryland Licensed Massage Therapists and Registered Massage Practitioners.
