Section 35-7 - Cosmetology School Classifications and Transcripts

(1) A cosmetology school not part of a secondary program, such as a high school, is considered a post-secondary school. The license shall clearly state whether a school is post-secondary or a career center.

(2) Public school cosmetology programs include accredited high schools, career centers, trade schools or industrial schools. A public school license is entitled to the same rights and privileges as a license obtained from a post-secondary school.
