The Cosmetology and Esthetics curriculum are designed to provide students with competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the cosmetology industry and the art of skin care. The curriculum provides a simulated salon environment which enables students to develop manipulative skills.
Course work includes instruction in all phases of professional imaging, hair design, chemical processes, skin care, nail care, multi-cultural practices, business/computer principles, product knowledge, and other selected topics.
Students who complete the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program may choose to transfer some credits to selected colleges and universities for further study and/or pursue employment opportunities.
Vocational diploma programs are designed specifically for those who wish to enter a trade prior to completing an associate degree and may be completed in as little as three semesters by non-developmental students on a full-time basis.
Certificate programs train men and women for immediate employment and may be completed in as few as one or two semesters on a full-time or part-time basis.
Students should consult with their advisors to help plan a program of study to complete program course work and fulfill the minimum general education competency requirements that must be met prior to graduation from the chosen program of study.
Graduates of these programs should be eligible to take the State Board of Cosmetic Arts examination. Upon successfully passing the State Board exam, graduates will be issued a license which qualifies them for employment in beauty salons and related businesses. Students in the Esthetics program will be qualified for employment in beauty and cosmetic/skin care salons, as a platform artist, or related positions.
