Abstract
Objectives This thesis aims at investigating cases of the course-type curriculum in the vocational high school’s beauty department, which is a course-type model with in the department precisely selected from Vocational High school credit system models, followed by the implementation of the 2022 revised curriculum and the high school credit system, and satisfaction surveys.
 Methods From October to November 2022, a questionnaire was conducted by a total of 160 third-year students in the vocational high school beauty department in Seoul regarding selection of the course-type specific majors, their satisfaction level towards its curriculum and environment, and their preferred occupations. It was further undertaken by 20 teachers who performed the course-type curriculum. The survey results were then used to perform the frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, t-statistics, Chi-square test and One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
 Results The dominant factor upon course-type major selection was personal reason, followed by hair, makeup and skincare reasons, and the hair department students tend to select their majors most precisely. Their satisfaction with the educational environment appeared not to differ by each department, whereas respondents revealed varied level of satisfaction with the course-type curriculum in an order descending of Hair, Makeup and Skincare group. The hair group showed higher interest than others on desire to work in the industry. Teachers’ satisfaction were overall high except for the financial support on curriculum operation.
 Conclusions Prior to the complete implementation of the high school credit system, the development and coordination of a structured education curriculum have to take place through surveys. We hope that the findings of this study would be applied and assist in implementing and sustaining the course-type curriculum upon full implementation of the credit system. This study suggests follow-up research on comparative cases by different regions and different high school units for further investigating its limitations and management plans.
