A degree in beauty? It's true. A beauty therapy degree or diploma program prepares students for jobs in healthcare and therapy. The beauty and spa business has grown into a huge industry, and now there's a healthcare degree to go with it.
Degree Programs in Beauty Therapy and Health Studies
In a beauty therapy degree program, you learn about more than just exfoliants and facial scrubs. It is a healthcare degree designed to educate you about all aspects of the spa business--from owning and running a spa to the health and science behind them. You'll learn about these concepts and more:
- Cosmetic treatments
- Beauty products and technology
- Fitness and well-being
- Health management and promotion
You can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Beauty Therapy, Bachelor of Science in Cosmetic Science or Beauty Science, or other healthcare degrees.
Jobs in Healthcare
Jobs in healthcare don't end at hospitals and clinics. Spas are designed to improve the health of their customers, not only to sell products. Healthcare professionals who work at spas must understand the health and science behind spa professions in order to grow their careers.
Two years ago, healthcare was the largest industry in the US. Jobs in healthcare are growing, and spas are becoming more popular in every region of the country. A healthcare degree in beauty therapy is ideal for the healthcare professional who values personal wellness and the wellness of others.
