What Makes Us Different

Located in Dallas off of I-35, our facility has the benefits of being near a large city without the hassles of one. The newly-renovated massage school also features contemporary equipment and a pristine environment to learn and network with others in the healthcare profession. Students of the school of massage therapy will not only interact with peers of the same school, but also with students and alumni of chiropractic. The massage program offers one of the only 600-hour programs in Dallas and financial assistance is available for those that qualify to assist students in managing both their financial and professional goals.

Parker College gives every student a unique experience. Outside of the classroom, recreational facilities welcome the Parker family to have fun and be active on campus. The student activities center contains equipment and a gymnasium for students as well as exercise classes for all levels, while lounges and a world-class library provide a quiet place to study, relax and expand the mind. Parker College offers college life as it is meant to be lived – actively.
