They are pay only: health insurance, retirement contributions and other benefits are not included.
Graduates per year from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 2022-23 Completions survey.

About this school
Boca Beauty Academy-Parkland is a private for-profit trade school located in Parkland, Florida. It is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and participates in federal Title IV student aid programs, meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for enrollment. The campus offers eight program families, most notably cosmetology, massage therapy, barber, nail technician, and esthetician training, with cosmetology (168 completers), massage therapy (40), and barber (33) as its top programs by volume.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 86.0%, above the Florida state average of 70.5% for comparable programs. Graduates carry a median debt of $6,333, a relatively low figure. Median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $25,482, and 53.9% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of lower-income enrollees.
This campus, located in a large suburb, appears geared toward students pursuing short, hands-on certificate or diploma programs in personal-care trades rather than multi-year associate degrees, based on the concentration of completers in cosmetology, massage therapy, and barbering. Career changers and adults interested in a shorter path into licensed trade work may want to review specific program lengths and schedules directly with the school, since that detail is not specified here. Prospective students should confirm current accreditation status and outcomes using the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and by contacting the school directly.
