The Cosmetology program prepares students for careers as licensed cosmetologists. Midland College is certified by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations as a cosmetology training provider, and the curriculum is designed to prepare students for successful completion of the Texas Cosmetology Operator licensure examination. Specific areas of training include hair design, hair care, nail technology, skin care and facials, hair coloring, chemical reformation, and salon development. Cosmetology Operator courses are offered from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The Operator Certificate consists of 42 semester credit hours and takes one year (12 months) to complete. In addition to courses toward the Operator examination, Midland College also offers courses leading to the Cosmetology Instructor License through the Health Sciences Continuing Education Department. In order to ensure successful reading comprehension of licensure examination material and proper course sequencing as stipulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, students must complete a Midland College Application for Admission and contact the program advisor before enrolling in Cosmetology courses. Students who enroll in the Cosmetology program at Midland College and who already possess a current Texas Cosmetology Operator License are eligible to receive automatic college credit for courses in the Operator Certificate. Please contact program personnel for additional information.

The course sequences shown in the program of study below should be followed when possible.
