Professional Massage Therapy

ATI's Professional Massage Therapy (PMT) diploma program provides in-depth training in the art and science of massage therapy plus focuses on clinical methods and advanced techniques to prepare our students for a rewarding career.  Our course of study is led by career professionals and designed to prepare students for massage therapy careers that include Swedish massage techniques, hydrotherapy, and clinical methods as well as popular trends in the massage industry.  ATI offers convenient scheduling options that include day, evening, and weekend classes to help students train to be prepared to start their career as a licensed massage therapist in as little as 7 ½ months.

Students must possess a high school diploma, GED or recognized equivalent, or demonstrate the ability to benefit from training.  Non-high school graduates or students who do not possess appropriate equivalency may be admitted under ability to benefit (ATB) criteria with a minimum score of Verbal-200 and Quantitative-210 on the Wonderlic Basic Skills Test.  The PMT graduate will be qualified for entry-level employment as a licensed massage therapist in various work settings; day resort or destination spas, medical spas, private businesses, rehabilitation or wellness clinics, and cruise ships.

The State of Texas requires only the minimum 500 hour course of instruction for licensure and any additional training is strictly voluntary and for career enrichment.  Message Therapy in Texas is approved and regulated by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Massage Therapy Licensing Program.  Students who wish to obtain a copy of the Massage Therapy Act and the rules of the department included in 25 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 140 may log on to http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/massage.

The On-time Graduation Rate is a calculation which demonstrates, based on the number of students who graduate within the 2009-2010 award year, the percentage of those students who completed their educational program on time based on the published program length (in weeks). The published program length assumes a student is attending full-time and passes each class without being required to repeat any courses. Students not attending full time are required to repeat a class, are not counted as graduating on time.

On-time Graduation Rate: 61%
Median Loan Debt:

The Median Loan Debt calculation is based on the median debt incurred in Title IV Federal Student Aid Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) and Private Loans incurred by students who graduated from their educational program in the 2009-2010 award year. In addition, we provide the median amount graduates owed the school (school balance) at the time the student graduated from the educational program. This data is intended to provide prospective students, and the public, with the median amount a student can be expected to repay upon completing the program.

All placement rates disclosed were reported to ACCSC in the 2010 annual report. The placement rates for schools accredited by ACCSC are based on the outcomes of students that started during a specified period time.

The calculation uses July 2010 as the report end date, allows for students to complete the program within 1.5 times the program length and also allows for 3 months to find employment.

Graduates are considered unavailable for employment for the following reasons: death, incarceration, active military service deployment, the onset of a medical condition that prevents employment, or international students who have returned to their country of origin.
