are integrated in nature, combining essential academic skills with those of the workplace. This program enables cosmetology students to obtain the necessary hours required by the State Board of Cosmetology for licensure. Upon completion of the hour requirements, students are able to take their state boards examination. At this time, students can also choose to leave school on days they do not have academics for hands-on, paid work experience.
