About this school
Del-Mar-Va Beauty Academy is a private for-profit trade school in Salisbury, Maryland. It is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, and it participates in federal financial aid programs (Title IV), meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid such as Pell Grants to help pay for enrollment. The school's primary program area is cosmetology, with 24 recent completers reported in that field out of an undergraduate enrollment of 32 students.
Federal data show a completion rate of 40.0%, which is below the Maryland state average of 46.9% for similar programs. Graduates carry a median debt of $16,500, and median earnings ten years after entry are reported at $25,426. The annual cost of attendance is listed at $31,050, and 62.3% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of the student body qualifies for need-based federal aid.
Given its single-program focus on cosmetology, this campus may suit students seeking a defined path into a licensed beauty trade rather than those wanting a broader associate-degree curriculum. Whether the program schedule fits an adult career-changer's needs is not detailed in the available data, so prospective students should contact the school directly. To verify accreditation status and review the full outcomes data independently, prospective students can consult the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard using the school's listed profile, and confirm accreditation with the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences.
