SGTC Cosmetology program ranked as one of the top cosmetology programs in country

  South Georgia Technical College’s Cosmetology program has been recognized as one of the best in the nation by The Community for Accredited Online Schools (AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org). As a leading resource for higher education and college accreditation information, the site released its annual ranking for the 2016-2017 school year, honoring South Georgia Technical College as the #18 Best Cosmetology Program in the Nation. “It has always been a lifetime passion of mine to teach Cosmetology,” said program instructor Dorothea Lusane-McKenzie, who has been at the helm of the program for over ten years. “I am grateful and appreciative for this recognition. I always try to instill the importance of work ethics to all of my students,” she explained. “I always tell my students that if they pass all three semesters of my program, they will pass the state board, but what will really set them apart from others will be their work ethics, and that will allow them to have continued success in their careers,” said Lusane-McKenzie. “We wanted to highlight schools like South Georgia Technical College, who are striving for excellence in education,” said Doug Jones, CEO and Founder of the Community for Accredited Online Schools. “These colleges offer an exceptional educational experience, upholding rigorous accreditation standards and showing an overall commitment to maximizing student success.” In order for colleges to qualify for this ranking, they must hold public or private not-for-profit status and carry institutional accreditation. Top schools are determined by using a value-based methodology that analyzes more than a dozen qualitative and quantitative data points.
