Becoming a massage therapist is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

The Utah College of Massage Therapy, with campuses in Salt Lake City and Utah Valley, is proud to offer you state-of-the-art training in massage and bodywork therapies and highly effective career services placement through exclusive recruiting visits and job fairs with industry-leading massage employers.

The Utah College of Massage Therapy is one of the Utah College of Massage Therapy Family of Schools, one of the largest massage schools in the country, with over 8,600 graduates from its six campuses in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado.

In just seven months a Utah College of Massage Therapy (UCMT) graduate can have a great job working almost anywhere in the country. Today, there are more opportunities for UCMT graduates than ever before, including: sports massage, clinical massage, corporate massage, private practice, the medical field, infant massage, rehabilitation, health and wellness centers, and geriatric massage. No matter which field you choose, the possibilities are endless.

One of the most exciting things to happen to massage therapy recently is the explosion of the spa and resort industry. Typically, spas depend on massage therapy for 50-70% of their income, which creates a huge demand for fully-trained and qualified UCMT graduates. With the current rate of growth, thousands of UCMT graduates are needed to fill these career opportunities all over the world. Massage therapy at spas and resorts is an incredible opportunity, with entry level positions usually paying between $25,000 and $50,000 a year. The benefits available to employees are outstanding. For example, imagine a career at ski resorts like Vail or Aspen with free season passes and on-mountain services. Or picture yourself working and living at a resort in Jamaica, Tahiti, or Hawaii with golf, scuba diving, sailing, and more, right outside your door.

If you're serious about getting your dream job, UCMT can help make it happen ... just seven months from today. The UCMT Family of Schools Career Services Department is staffed by fourteen full-time career counselors who's only job is to start you in a fantastic new career. Massage employers visit UCMT's job fairs several times a year to recruit therapists for their operations, and many of our students are placed even before they graduate.
