Cosmetology Business Associates Degree Program


How to design a college program for successful cosmetology business professionals:

  • Ask successful salon and spa owners and product manufacturers representatives what business skills our students need to enhance their creative and technical knowledge of cosmetology.
  • Give licensed cosmetologists college credit for their professional training and experience as stylists and technicians, helping them complete the Associate in Cosmetology Business as efficiently as possible.
  • Provide graduates with career services to support them in their job searches.

At Globe University/Minnesota School of Business, we did exactly that. Contact us to find out more.Hair Up
