Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies is hosting an open house, where prospective students can meet faculty and current students, from 5 to 7 p.m., November 17, at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, in Camden. In partnership with Camden County College for 16 years, Lourdes Institute is the only school in the South Jersey region to offer an associate’s degree in Applied Science/Massage Therapy.

“We will have current students at the event who provide seated chair massages,” says Frank Pileggi, Ph.D., RHP, Dean. “Thanks to our partnership and how we’ve designed the program, students no longer have to take time off from traditional school to get a certificate. By earning an associate’s degree at the Lourdes Institute, you don’t lose all that valuable time; you can get your degree and certificate, and then if you wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree in a health-related field, you can transfer those credits.”

Lourdes Institute has been continually ranked among the top schools in the nation, according to the national accreditation of board exams. Financial aid options are available for prospective students.

Location: 1600 Haddon Ave., Camden. For more information, call 856-580-6444 or visit LIWS.org.
