Graham, N.C. – Success is not just measured by effort, but by outcomes, and in 2025, students in Alamance Community College’s Massage Therapy program delivered a remarkable one.

According to the 2025 MBLEx School Performance Report released by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), Alamance Community College achieved a 100% pass rate for graduates taking the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx), the national credentialing exam required for professional massage therapy licensure.
