Overview
Cortiva Institute was a network of massage therapy and healthcare career schools operating across multiple U.S. campuses, offering diploma and certificate programs in massage therapy, skincare, and related therapeutic bodywork fields. The institute traced its roots to several long-standing regional massage schools that were consolidated under the Cortiva brand in the mid-2000s, becoming one of the largest massage therapy education networks in the country. It was best known for vocational training designed to prepare students for state licensure exams and entry-level careers in spas, clinics, and wellness centers rather than for traditional undergraduate or graduate academics.
