The NACCAS began in 1969, but it changed its name and became NACCAS in 1981, after two accrediting agencies merged to form the COsmetology Accrediting Commission (CAC). Currently the agency accredits approximately 1,300 cosmetology school and beauty school institutions, affecting more than 120,000 students nationwide. The NACCAS scope of accreditation includes more than 20 courses and programs of study related to the cosmetology arts and sciences.
