About This School
Academy of Massage and Bodywork is a private for-profit institution located in Bear, Delaware with approximately 81 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $31,204 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are already committed to a career in massage therapy and want a focused, low-overhead path into the field will find this small Bear, Delaware school worth a serious look — but go in with clear eyes. The standout here is the debt picture: a median graduation debt of just $6,333 is genuinely low for a vocational program, which means you're not taking a big financial gamble. The concern is on the earnings side — median income 10 years out sits at $31,204, which is modest, and with only 81 enrolled students, there's limited data on long-term outcomes or employer reputation in the region. If you're pursuing massage therapy as a primary career and expecting it to support a household independently, have an honest conversation about local job markets and whether you can build a client base or supplement with other work. My practical advice: visit in person, ask specifically about job placement rates and where recent graduates are working, and compare this program's licensing exam pass rates against state averages before committing.
