The study achieved the following results through the percentage, the mean value, standard deviation, t-test and one-way ANOVA were adopted on the analysis. Based on the analysis of the results of the study, the main conclusions are as follows: 1. Aesthetic Literacy was assessed in four categories. In the category “knowledge of art”, “artistic expression and appreciation skills” and “attitude towards art”, students of Cosmetology-related departments scored higher than the general University students, but in the category “habit of participation in the arts”, their score is below that of general University students&;apos;&;apos;. 2. In the “participation in the arts habit” category, students of Cosmetology-related departments scored lower than the general University students: the former are too passive and need to drastically improve their attitude. 3. In the “attitude towards art” category, Cosmetology- related students trend aesthetic is helpful to enhance the quality of life and aesthetic is helpless to economy. 4. In the “knowledge of art” and “artistic expression and appreciation skills” category, Cosmetology-related students scored better than general University students, but their knowledge in history of art was insufficiency and short of appreciation skills. 5.
