In this research-driven episode from Di Tran University — The College of Humanization, we explore a critical but overlooked gap in Kentucky’s cosmetology education system: the absence of a standardized student transcript.While state law mandates strict instructional hours for licensure, it does not define how those hours should be documented in a consistent, transferable format.
