California Community Colleges -- Massage Therapy Programs
Compiled by massageprac

California Community Colleges have the lowest tuition of any college or university in the United States according to the Public Policy Institute of California. The uniform tuition for the community college system is set by the state legislature with the approval of the governor. With community colleges in other states ranging from $60 to $250 per unit for residential students, we pay $26 per unit. We are the least expensive compared to the educational quality, value, and variety and number of classes offered for the price. I think it is by far the best deal for education in the United States. Nowhere else can one obtain a professional massage education at such a low price, let alone receiving an Associate in Science or an Associate in Arts Degree in Massage Therapy for about $1500 tuition.
