A La’ James International College Exclusive

We are in the business of educating those passionate about beauty. As a career college, we want to give our students the opportunity to expand their knowledge and earn credits toward a degree in Health and Beauty Management. We partner with Iowa Central Community College so students can earn an Associate of Applied Sciences Degree while also receiving their beauty licenses.

A.A.S. Degree Programs

Your La’ James International College diplomas can earn you a beauty license and 52 credits toward your Health and Beauty Management Degree. The combination of your LJIC diplomas and the state license for Cosmetology or the combination of Massage and Esthetics gives you the bulk of the credits you need for your A.A.S. Cosmetology degree. This leaves you just 18 credits to complete online through Iowa Central Community College.

 

See What Our Students Have To Say

The opportunities are endless here at LJIC and the tools for success are given to you. You just have to apply them! I love Wednesday and Thursday mornings We [student & staff] meet to discuss the week ahead and build together as a team.

I chose LJIC because it gave me more options to learn different areas rather than just hair only. You learn nails, the spa side of Cosmetology, and everything else.

I would recommend everyone come to LJIC because you get to meet a lot of new people and this field can take you anywhere.
