About the Program
Cosmetology is a high demand area with a strong employment outlook. The State of New Hampshire requires hours of education and clinical experience for licensing. Through partnerships with post-secondary cosmetology schools, students can earn up to 300 clinical hours over the 2 year CTE program. Students should have strong communication skills as this is a very social environment. Because clinical hours are accrued, all absences must be made up to account for lost hours.
