While employment opportunities for reflexologists are varied (grads may work in spas or holistic health centers, for example), many alumni opt to go into business for themselves, taking advantage of the fact that they can work part-time or out of their own home.

The certification program at IUPUI Reflexology includes 25 hours of reflexology history, theory and techniques, 40 hours of body systems study, 30 hours of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and 15 hours of business practice and ethics. In addition, students are required to complete a 10-hour supervised practicum in a spa-like setting, as well as 90 hours of client sessions. These hands-on training experiences are a critical part of the education program at IUPUI Reflexology. Students and instructors work together in small groups to ensure that each student receives individualized attention. Classes at IUPUI meet over the course of six weekends. Individuals who would like to learn more about reflexology but are not interested in pursuing national certification can enroll in just one or two of the program's two-day classes. Most classes meet at the Indiana Therapeutic Massage School.
