East West Accreditation
COMTA Accreditation & Standards
East West College is accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA). Why is this important? “Accreditation”, in COMTA’s own words, “identifies and acknowledges educational institutions and programs for achieving and maintaining a level of quality, performance and integrity based on educational and professional standards.”
East West is the only college in Portland with this distinction. In fact, it is one of only four massage colleges in the entire West Coast accredited by COMTA!
COMTA Standards
COMTA provides high standards for all parts of the college’s operations — from curriculum to faculty to finances. COMTA accreditation assures students that the college has met or exceeded standards that specifically apply to the massage field.
