    The Cosmetology (Hybrid) program is a comprehensive 1,077- hour training course that combines online theoretical instruction with in-person hands-on practice. This program is designed to prepare students for licensure as professional cosmetologists. The hybrid format allows students to gain essential theoretical knowledge online while applying that knowledge through practical training in person.

    At the Paramus Campus, specialized classroom training incorporates the use of manikins, demonstrations, and live models during clinical services. The curriculum covers important topics, including professional ethics in cosmetology, chemistry related to cosmetology, anatomy, physiology, sanitation, sterilization, manicuring, pedicuring, and barbering, as well as state rules and regulations.

    Students enrolled in the cosmetology program have the opportunity to participate in the Work-Based Activity (WBA) internship program, which requires the completion of 192 hours of field experience over eight weeks. Students can find their own employers or seek assistance from the Job Placement Specialist. Participants will work four days a week and attend classes one day a week. For those who opt not to participate in the WBA, there is an alternative option to complete an in-class cumulative project, which will provide a similar experience to the fieldwork.

    Length: 1,077 hours (approximately 1 Year + 9 Months)
