Students practice hair styling, cutting, coloring, relaxing, permanent waving, manicures, pedicures and skin care in a salon-style setting. They work on clients and fellow students in the college's own cosmetology facility. Palm Beach State College, a public institution in Florida, awards a career certificate program, a hands-on credential measured in clock hours rather than semesters. The program is offered in classrooms and labs at both Lake Worth and the Belle Glade campus, with daytime and evening options. It involves 1200 clock hours of study and is designed to be finished in about 12 months. The college lists no single entry requirement on the program page, and the published cost is shown by Florida residency. Prospective students can review the program page for the course catalog, learning outcomes and contact details.
