With access to so many activities and cultures, Paul Mitchell The School Knoxville is the perfect place for cosmetology school education, to grow as an artist, and launch your dream career in the beauty industry!
Paul Mitchell The School Knoxville is a special purpose institution. That purpose is to provide a quality educational system to prepare students to pass the state board examination and gain employment within their chosen field of study. We are passionately committed to providing a solid educational foundation to empower our team in the pursuit of excellence and we strongly believe that when people come first, success will follow.
This purpose does not include preparing students for further college study. Students should be aware that the transfer of credit is always the responsibility of the receiving institution. Whether or not credits transfer is solely up to the receiving institution. Any student interested in transferring credit hours should check with the receiving institution directly to determine to what extent, if any, credit hours can be transferred.
