The Cosmetology course is regulated by the same laws and rules/regulations of the Indiana State Cosmetology Board as beauty schools that are available after high school. However, this course allows you to attend during your high school years. Connected to the learning of the necessary practical skills of cosmetology are studies that include related chemistry, anatomy/physiology, business management, medical terminology, mathematics, and people skills. An articulation agreement exists with Ivy Tech.

The Cosmetology Careers program is a two year program requiring 1500 clock hours of instruction in all phases of cosmetology. Students enter in June after completion of the 10th grade. The program requires excellent attendance during the two regular school years plus additional instruction during the summer session and bi-weekly six (6) hour Saturday sessions.

During the school year students attend for three and one-half hours daily: Juniors 12:00p.m. to 3:00p.m.; Seniors 8:00a.m. to 11:30a.m. After applying, completing and passing the State Board examination, students receive an Indiana Cosmetology License.

The current fee is $110.00 per year plus the required uniform and shoes. The kit of working tools is provided in the fee costs.
