Graduates are expected to take the state examination. Students who complete this program successfully and pass their licensure examinations have the skills and knowledge needed for the following entry-level jobs: manicurist, salon receptionist, shampoo technician, and licensed cosmetologist. This two-year program of study begins in 11th grade and includes:
- Cosmetology I

Note: Applications for this program are open for rising 11th and 12th grade students.
