Can your program help prepare me for a Cosmetology career?
Yes, preparing the next generation of hair stylists is our goal! Our cosmetology program is designed to prepare graduates to pursue entry-level positions in the cosmetology industry, once licensed. Each cosmetology student in our program will be required to complete 1,500 clock hours of training to meet state requirements. From there, graduates can take the cosmetology license exam in hopes of beginning their new career upon licensure.
Dorsey College has determined that its Cosmetology program curriculum is sufficient to fulfill educational requirements for licensure in the State of Michigan only. No academic determinations have been made for any other state, district, or US territory regarding licensure requirements.
As licensure is required for employment by the State of Michigan, Dorsey College will pay the cost one time for graduates of this program to challenge the state licensure exam, contingent upon the graduate meeting Dorsey College’s exam preparation requirements.
