About this school
Centura College-Chesapeake is a private for-profit trade school located in Chesapeake, Virginia, a large city. The campus is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, with active accreditation status. However, federal data indicates this campus does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, meaning FAFSA and Pell Grant funding cannot be used here. The school's primary program offerings are esthetician training and massage therapy, with 109 students in esthetician programs and 47 in massage therapy, totaling 156 program completers.
In terms of outcomes, the state average completion rate for comparable programs in Virginia is 57.1 percent, but this campus's own completion rate and how it compares to that state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt for graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
This campus may suit students interested specifically in esthetics or massage therapy, both fields typically involving shorter, hands-on training programs rather than multi-year degrees. Because federal financial aid is not available here, prospective students—including career changers—should carefully weigh out-of-pocket costs before enrolling. To verify accreditation status, program details, or check for updated federal outcome data, contact the school directly or consult the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard.
