FAQs: Enrolling in our Minnesota Massage Therapy Program

If you provide a foreign high school diploma, you will need to obtain an English translation of the document along with confirmation that the education received is equivalent to a U.S high school diploma. This documentation must come from World Education Services (WES) to institutions seeking credential evaluation.

Any student who has previously withdrawn from a program at PMA may be entitled to re-enter that program. Students may re-enter a program under the following terms:

  • The Student had satisfactory progress in both grades and attendance when the temporary withdrawal began.
  • The Student had extenuating circumstances that made attendance and academic progress extremely difficult which led to the withdrawal.
  • The Student or Student’s family member required medical attention that required the temporary withdrawal.

Under any one or a combination of the above conditions, the student will be readmitted without prejudice. Upon re-entry, all tuition and fees owed to PMA from the original enrollment must be paid in full.

Applicants for transfer into PMA are considered on an individual basis. PMA may, at its discretion, refuse transfers if admission requirements, including tuition, cannot be met. PMA may or may not accept transfer hours into courses.

PMA does not recruit students that are currently attending another school offering the same program of study. Transfer students will be charged per hour according to the current rate of tuition for hours required and the cost of any additional equipment required. The total cost will not exceed that of a regular student.
