Welcome to the CU Barbering School Certificate Program

The Barbering Program provides educational skills and knowledge for students to excel in the barbering field so they will gain the confidence and ability to service clients/students and obtain their licenses for employment in barber shops or other avenues of the hair industry.

We strive to offer a balanced academic and personal environment that fosters growth and constant pursuit of knowledge and Christian servant leadership. We offer a full-service barbering school, which is also open to the public for services.
