About this school
Aveda Institute Portland-Vancouver Campus is a private for-profit trade school located in Vancouver, Washington. It is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, and students here can use federal financial aid (Title IV funds apply). The campus mainly awards credentials in esthetician programs and cosmetology programs, with esthetician training being the largest single program by completions.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 89.5%, which is above the Washington state average of 66.1%. Graduates who took out loans carried a median debt of $6,826, and median earnings ten years after entry were $33,003. About 49.3% of students received Pell Grants, pointing to a substantial share of lower-income students enrolled. Annual cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data.
This campus, with 122 undergraduates and 81 trade program completers, appears geared toward students seeking focused, shorter-term training in personal-care trades like esthetics and cosmetology rather than multi-year associate degrees. Given the program mix and completion outcomes, it may suit career changers looking for a defined, licensure-oriented path rather than a longer academic track, though program lengths themselves are not reported here. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status and review full outcome data directly through the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, and confirm tuition and enrollment details with the school.
