Admission Requirements
We use both objective and subjective criteria in determining eligibility for admission. Because the quality of our students contributes greatly to the quality of our programs, please note that receipt of your application and fee does not necessarily guarantee acceptance into the program.
Prerequisites
Each student must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
Semester One: High School diploma or GED
500-Hour Program for State Licensure & National Certification: High School diploma or GED;
Semester Two: 250+ hours of massage therapy training or Texas Massage Therapy license
Semester Three: 500+ hours of massage therapy training
Ineligibility
• A person may be ineligible for registration as a massage therapist by the Texas Department of State Health Services if he/she has been: convicted of, entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, or received deferred adjudication for crimes or offenses involving prostitution or sexual offenses; or, convicted of a violation of the Massage Therapy Act within the past five years. Anyone currently employed at a sexually-oriented business will not be accepted for enrollment at The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School.
Evaluation of Prior Training
• If you have prior education overlapping with any part of our 500-Hour curriculum, you may be eligible for a tuition discount or shortened program. Determination of eligibility for such credit must be made by the Texas Department of State Health Services at (512) 834-6616. Applicants seeking exemption must be evaluated by TDSHS before enrolling (ideally six or more weeks before the enrollment consultation). A standard $35 special exceptions fee is applied for such applicants. We do not give advance credit for Semester Two or Three or other graduate seminars.
• New students applying for admission to our Semester Two or Three program will be given a take-home anatomy assignment and an individualized practical evaluation prior to enrollment. The fee for this process is $35, payable at the time of evaluation.
