Collin College will be offering three new programs – Medical Laboratory Technology, Law Enforcement – Public Administration and Supervision, and Cosmetology – this fall. The three new Associate of Applied Science (AAS) programs and corresponding certificates aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
Medical Laboratory Technology
The AAS in Medical Laboratory Technology will address the increasing need for healthcare
professionals. This program will train students in essential laboratory skills while
emphasizing hands-on training and clinical experience. Graduates will be equipped
to work in hospitals, clinics, and research facilities, playing a crucial role in
future patient care in our growing region.
Law Enforcement – Public Administration and Supervision
This program will offer an AAS and a Level 2 Certification in 21st Century Police Administration that will build upon basic police officer courses already
available at Collin College. The new offering will further prepare students for a
rewarding career in law enforcement with a focus on leadership, administration, community
relations, and more.
Cosmetology
The Cosmetology program will offer an AAS degree and a Certificate in Cosmetology.
Students will receive comprehensive training in hair, skin, and nails, as well as
professional development, while preparing for the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation (TDLR) Cosmetology Operator License exam. The program also includes a Continuing
Education component for licensed cosmetologists.
“We are excited to offer these new programs that align with the needs of our community and the changing job market,” said Dr. Neil Matkin, Collin College district president. “These programs not only provide valuable skills but also open doors to fulfilling careers for our students. We are committed to supporting their success and helping them achieve their professional goals.”
