The Cosmetology Program consists of 1600 hours training in theory and practical skills in all phases of beauty culture. Units are based on hours in attendance. Through the expertise of a talented faculty and exposure to professional cosmetologists and salon owners, students can learn hair design, hair coloring, hair analysis, skin care, nail care, and aesthetic enhancement of the body.
Skilled cosmetologists find employment with full-service and specialty salons.
Licensed cosmetologists also have the freedom to work either full or part-time, and employment opportunities are available without regard to gender or age. The employment outlook for cosmetologists is good through the year 2000, with positions presently outnumbering applicants. Completion of tenth grade or equivalent is required by State Law. Students must be 17 years of age to be eligible for State Examination. When space is available, students with previous training may be eligible for admission to the Advanced Standing program in Cosmetology within a one-year period of withdrawal from a previous school and upon submission of State Board records to the Cosmetology Department.
