Which Cosmetology Path Interests You?
The Cosmetology Program provides students an opportunity to apply cosmetology practices and principles in a simulated salon environment. You can earn either an Associate of Applied Science or a certificate — both include the 1,600 hours of training necessary to take the Arizona State Board of Cosmetology examination. Classes meet approximately nine hours a day, five days a week, with required Saturdays each month. The AAS degree is completed by taking 18 general education credits and two elective credits.
Classes for the Cosmetology Instructor Certificate satisfy the 350 hours training necessary to qualify for the state licensing exam.
The Nail Technician Certificate Program emphasis basic nail care, manicuring, and hand and arm massage and satisfies the 600 hours of training necessary to qualify for the state licensing exam.
Cosmetology refresher courses are available if you need additional hours to qualify for the Arizona state board licensing exam, other state cosmetology boards, or if you want to enhance your skills.
