OVERVIEW - About BCMT
Founded in 1975, the Boulder College of Massage Therapy (BCMT) celebrates 35 years of educational excellence. BCMT is recognized around the world as a leader in massage therapy education. Our programs offer a powerful combination of educational excellence and balance among classic Western massage; bodywork in the Eastern tradition; clinical massage specialization; and bodywork focusing on the integration of mind, body and spirit.
BCMT gained national recognition for its self-funded research on tension headaches (published in the American Journal of Public Health) and is a member of the Massage Therapy Research Consortium. This consortium consists of a group of 10 massage schools in the United States and Canada that are dedicated to conducting rigorous studies to better understand all aspects of massage.
Our massage school programs include the Massage Therapy Certificate and Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Massage Therapy. Continuing Education courses are also offered through the Advanced Certificate programs. We believe that an optimal learning environment includes committed and caring faculty and staff, an academic tutorial program, and a broad range of teaching techniques that address different learning styles. We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio so our students receive the benefit of personalized attention.
BCMT is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges
(ACCSC), which are listed by the US Department of Education as a nationally
recognized accrediting agency. The college has been granted a Certificate of
Approval by the State of Colorado Division of Private Occupational Schools.
BCMT is also an original member of, and has been a participant in, the AMTA
and Council of Schools since 1988. The National Certification Board also
approves BCMT for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork as a continuing
education provider.
