The transferability of credits you earn at the institution is at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer.

If you decide to transfer to another cosmetology school, the likelihood is that some or most of your hours will be transferrable based on the transfer school’s published policy. However, if you transfer to a credit hour school, such as a community college, or traditional college or university, for a degree granting program, the likelihood is that most, if not all hours earned will not be transferrable because of the subject matter taught and the type of degree granting program you are enrolling in.
