Massage therapy makes it happen!

Becoming a massage therapist or esthetician is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge in which you will experience life-changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

The Salt Lake City campus of the Utah College of Massage Therapy is proud to offer you high-quality training in massage and bodywork therapies or in Esthetics.

UCMT is part of the Utah College of Massage Therapy Family of Schools, with over 15,000 graduates from its seven campuses in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado.

UCM T is also part of the Steiner Education Group, which offers skin care and massage therapy training at 17 locations in 9 states. SEG is a division of Steiner Leisure Limited, a worldwide provider of spa services. Steiner Leisure Limited's operations included spas and salons on more than 130 cruise ships and at more than 45 resorts worldwide.

Steiner spas, both on land and at sea, recruit from the Steiner Education Group schools.

Steiner Education Group's Career Services Department has relationships with thousands of employers and generates more than 5,000 job opportunities each year for SEG graduates.

One of the most exciting things to happen to massage therapy and Esthetics recently is the explosion of the spa and resort industry. With the current rate of growth, thousands of graduates are needed to fill these career opportunities all over the world. Working at spas and resorts is an incredible opportunity and the benefits available to employees are often outstanding. For example, imagine a career at ski resorts like Vail or Aspen with free season passes and on-mountain services. Or picture yourself working and living at a resort in Jamaica, Tahiti, or Hawaii with golf, scuba diving, sailing, and more, right outside your door.

Employers from all across the country come to the UCMT Family of Schools every year to recruit UCMT students before they even graduate.
