Whatcom Community College Massage Program

Help others achieve their healthcare goals

Being a licensed massage practitioner (LMP) offers you the opportunity to help others achieve their healthcare goals and re-establish the connection between mind and body. This is done through the application of therapeutic touch. Whatcom Community College's massage practitioner program is approved by the Washington State Massage Board, a subsidiary of the Washington State Department of Health. Whatcom's massage practitioner program offers flexibility: Day or evening programs

Whatcom’s massage practitioner program offers students two program options to pursue study in this field: a daytime program that starts each fall quarter and an evening program that starts each spring quarter. The latter is ideal for students who require a class schedule that accommodates their daytime work schedule or other obligations. Online and hybrid courses:

The massage program continues to offer enhancements in class scheduling and delivery format. Eight of the core massage program classes are delivered online or in a hybrid delivery format. Hybrid courses have the lecture portion of class delivered online and the laboratory portion delivered face-to-face in our dedicated lab. Check with a program advisor for information on all courses offered throughout the year and to discuss the online learning experience.
