2024-2025 Skin Care Track Elective Course List

Curated to offer select topic areas in skin science, broaden your knowledge in skincare with a choice of three (3) electives listed below.
Stay up to date with our Course Calendar to see when we will be offering your course selections.

Note: program participants receive unlimited, 24/7 access to their selected elective course recordings. Once a live course occurs, or access begins for an on-demand course, participants will then have access to the course recordings for the selected elective throughout their time in the program. 

This is particularly advantageous for those with full-time work or school commitments, who may not be able to attend all of the live content during business hours--you can view the recorded content on-demand, 24/7 for any needed catch up and review.
