About This School
Dayton School of Medical Massage is a private for-profit institution located in Dayton, Ohio with approximately 376 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $30,819 per year. The graduation rate is 73%, and the typical graduate earns $31,071 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are already certain they want a career in massage therapy — and who have local ties to the Dayton area — are the most likely to get real value here. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($13,432) is genuinely encouraging and suggests the school isn't leaving students buried in loans, which matters a lot in a field where median earnings 10 years out sit at just $31,071. That earnings figure is the honest hard part of this conversation: the net price of $30,819 per year is steep relative to what most graduates end up making, so families should run the math carefully before committing. The 73% graduation rate is acceptable but not exceptional, and I'd encourage any prospective student to ask the school directly what's driving the 27% who don't finish. My practical advice: if massage therapy is your passion and you're set on staying in the Dayton area, this school can work — but treat it like a business decision, minimize borrowing wherever possible, and go in with clear eyes about the income ceiling in this profession.
