Important Program Notes:
*If you have had previous Anatomy & Physiology training or coursework in college or high school within the last 5 years, please inform the Program Director. Otherwise, taking IHP 1014 prior to enrolling in the Massage Therapy Program cohort is strongly recommended to serve as preparation for successful completion of the Massage Therapy Program. However, BIO 2101 Human Anatomy & Physiology I w/Lab can be an allowable substitution for prep coursework; also taking BIO 2102 Human A&P II should be included if transferring for advanced training. Please speak to the Program Director with any questions.
