programs require an understanding of both

The BCSBC instructional mission centers
on teaching both the theory and practice
of beauty culture. Styles continually change,
and graduates will have to adapt to new
technology and fashion trends. The school
trains its students so they can "grow into"
new approaches smoothly, by providing a
solid foundation in the scientific principles
which underlie the techniques taught in
the program.
Our long-range mission is to provide a basis
for life-long learning. Graduates must be
able to assess their own needs to meet the
needs of a changing world. Current societal
changes are accompanied by a strong interest
on the part of many young people in entrepreneurship.
These changes prompt the school's desire
to meet student needs by strengthening its
curriculum in management, and including
these topics in the basic program.
