While tuition for massage therapy schools can range widely, it's generally much less than a traditional two- or four-year education, with some programs as low as $5,000–$7,000. Most programs require between 500 and 1,000 hours of training, and it's likely that tuition will be higher the more in-depth your curriculum is. Keep in mind that as a massage student, you're not just paying for tuition: There are books, supplies, and even potentially a massage table if that's not included in your tuition price. (Be sure to ask!) Financial aid is often available, especially if your school is accredited.
