Become a licensed cosmetologist and join the workforce directly after high school

The Cosmetology program gives students the opportunity to be a licensed cosmetologist before they graduate from high school. This propels students into the workforce or allows them to work during college using skills they love. Students will master professional hair cutting, styling and coloring, facial and nail treatments, makeup techniques and more. Year two students begin patron service in their very own salon on campus and are prepared to take the state test in March! This hands-on experience enables students to practice as a licensed cosmetologist after high school, work as a make-up artist or even one day own or manage their own salon.
