Education Law §216 provides that no institution or association which might be incorporated by the Regents shall, without their consent, be incorporated under any other general law. The proposed business corporation seeks to establish a school of massage therapy to offer a licensure-qualifying program in massage therapy and continuing education courses to licensed massage therapists. Staff in the Office of the Professions has determined that the proposed program leading to a non-credit diploma meets the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education for registration.
