receive a professional massage before acceptance to the program. Students

School Visitation and Admissions Procedure
We welcome prospective students to make an appointment to visit the school.
It is strongly suggested that each individual interested in the school
attend one of DSM's frequent open houses. During that time, students will
meet some of the staff, tour the facility, perhaps view classes in session,
and discuss entrance into the program. For upcoming open house dates and
times, or to sign up for an open house, please call the school Monday-Friday,
9 AM - 5 PM. Recorded messages received after hours will be answered in
a timely manner. To apply, click here to download an application and mail

After receiving the completed application and fees, the Director of Admissions
will contact the applicant for an interview. The interview/visit is an
important time for the Director of Admissions and the applicant to question
each other for pertinent information. Upon acceptance, students will receive
notification and an enrollment contract for the desired program. The remaining
balance, depending on the desired program, is due according to the terms
of the student's financial contract. There is a $10-per-month interest
charge and a one-time, non-refundable $20 Credit Application Fee for monthly
payment plans. Interest fees will be prorated for monthly plans, should
the student pay off early.
