The Massage Therapy Program @ Monterey Peninsula College is an affordable way for you to gain the entry-level knowledge and skills you need in order to embark on a career as a practitioner of the healing art of therapeutic massage. You can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars over the cost of similar programs at private schools. For example, tuition at MPC for California residents is currently $36 per unit. The cost for Californians pursuing the Massage Practitioner certificate is therefore $432 (the cost to a non-California resident is $2112, since MPC non-resident tuition is currently $176 per unit). The tuition for earning a Certificate of Achievement: California residents and non-residents will pay about $1080 and $5280 respectively. The Associate degree tuition for California residents and non-residents is $1800 and $10,560 respectively. These tuition figures are based on unit fees only and do not include books, materials, parking or other fees, or living expenses.
