The Esthetic Specialty Certificate is designed to provide students with a quality education and prepare them to pass the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Examination for licensing in esthetics. The Esthetic Specialty Certificate includes local occupational need, business and industry trends.
Day students may complete the Esthetic Specialty Certificate program within two semesters. The full-time schedule is the course of study for full-time students beginning the program in the fall. Night students may complete the Esthetic Specialty Certificate program within three semesters.
Students in the Esthetic Specialty Certificate program must complete the seven Cosmetology courses with a grade of “C” or better to graduate with the certificate.
Effective September 1, 2017, HB 1508 amends the Texas Occupations Code Section 53 that requires education providers to notify potential or enrolled students that a criminal history may make them ineligible for an occupational license upon program completion. Program specific information will be provided in course syllabi.
