Goal of Program

CTE

Include any other information you would like to share.
MPC has had a Massage Therapy program for 20-25 years. This request for endorsment is to convert the local, low unit certificate into a Certificate of Achievement.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
We are unaware of similar programs at other colleges near our services area. This is a certificate conversion, not a new program.
