HAYS, Kan. – The nationally-ranked massage therapy program at Fort Hays State University offers numerous opportunities for students, whether they’re just starting school or coming back to continue their education. And, the program has now relocated to the lower floor of the Memorial Union in Room 045.  

“The opportunity to have a permanent space for the massage therapy program is super exciting on many levels,” said Ceena Owens, director of massage therapy at FHSU.

“We will have a ‘real’ classroom to use for recruiting purposes and tours for students in an amazing hands-on setting,” Owens said. “Having a permanent classroom space will allow the program to possibly start integrating with other FHSU programs – such as the spa facility and destination management course within the tourism and hospitality degree program in the Department of Applied Business Studies.”

FHSU's massage therapy program is a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) national organization and the (AMTA) American Massage Therapy Association. Students can pursue an Associate of General Studies with a massage therapy emphasis, a Bachelor of Science in health studies with an emphasis in massage therapy or a certificate in massage therapy. The certificate in the massage therapy program is flexible – it’s offered in a hybrid, online/on-campus format and can be completed in just two semesters.
