BLENDED LEARNING GIVES YOU FLEXIBILITY AND CONTROL

Vicars students pursue their career dreams without having to relocate or uproot their families. You’ll be a full-time student, but you don’t have to be on campus every day; our blended-learning program combines monthly on-campus sessions with structured online courses.

Real-World Massage Clinic Experience

Blended learning doesn’t mean that you miss out on clinical experience, either. On top of the hundreds of hours of in-person practical instruction, our Massage Therapy program includes a minimum of 330 hours of real-world clinic experience. Under the expert guidance of our supportive instructors, you’ll have the opportunity to treat people from all walks of life with a wide range of needs: pregnant clients, people in wheelchairs, athletes, and people with conditions as varied as MS, scoliosis, and brain injuries.

START YOUR ONLINE CLASSES RIGHT AWAY

This is not mandatory, and you won’t have any deadlines until your regular school year starts.
