The Cosmetology program is designed to prepare students for professional licensing in the cosmetology field. The students are taught all the basic techniques of hair care, chemical services, professional ethics, sanitation, manicuring, facials, anatomy, salon management and, rules and regulations as designated by the state.

Arkansas Tech University - Ozark Campus offers a technical certificate in Cosmetology (36 hours) and an associate of applied science in general technology with an option in Cosmetic Science (60 hours).

The program has been designed for all types of learners. A variety of methods are designed to teach these skills. In addition, students experience their future occupation in actual employment situations through a simulated setting in our lab area.

The Arkansas State Board of Cosmetology requires an individual to successfully complete 1500 clock hours in order to qualify for the state cosmetology licensing examination.

Applications are placed on file by dates completed and students are enrolled at the beginning of each semester as openings are available.

If a student is absent 10 days or the equivalent in hours, the student may be dropped from the class. Any student who drops from the Cosmetology course will have to meet with an entrance committee and be approved before being allowed to register for the next semester.

In addition to the school’s requirements for admission a student must submit a
copy of his/her Social Security card and a $10.00 money order.
