Welcome to Pacific College's Chicago Campus
Your interest in the field of holistic health care comes at an exciting time. As the field of Oriental medicine grows, so does the need for qualified practitioners. Pacific College offers some of the most comprehensive massage and Asian bodywork programs available. With substantial roots in Oriental body therapy, the programs are designed both for students launching a career in the field and for health practitioners who want to offer additional modalities to their patients. One of the unique aspects about our massage programs is that it has close ties with our Oriental medicine program. Working alongside Oriental medicine students and professionals in our classes and clinics allows our students to develop a greater depth of knowledge and expertise. The massage and Oriental medicine programs may be completed concurrently, allowing students to obtain a massage license and begin practicing massage therapy while working towards their master's degree.
