Tricoci University of Beauty Culture Announces Extended Partnership with Bloomington Career Academy

BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tricoci University of Beauty Culture is excited to announce an expansion of its partnership with the Bloomington Career Academy (BCA), strengthening opportunities for high school students wishing to pursue careers in beauty. Building on the original agreement, which allowed students to earn and transfer hours towards their esthetics program, Tricoci University will now also support students wishing to pursue the cosmetology program.

This extension ensures that students can seamlessly continue their education after high school without losing progress. Transfer credits from both esthetics and cosmetology programs will be recognized by Tricoci University, enabling graduates of BCA to finish their training with a shorter timeline, lower costs, and a clear pathway to licensure and career success.

"This expansion opens even more doors for high school students interested in beauty careers," said Angela Howard, Regional Director of Admissions and Education Partnerships at Tricoci University of Beauty Culture. "By accepting cosmetology credits in addition to esthetics, we're giving students a stronger head start and helping them enter the industry with confidence and advanced skills."

Through this collaboration, Tricoci University continues its commitment to bridging secondary and postsecondary education, ensuring students receive a comprehensive, continuous learning experience. By aligning with local career academies, the university empowers students to explore their passions while preparing them for success in the beauty industry.
