The campus is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and participates in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid such as Pell Grants to help pay for enrollment. The school's most awarded programs are cosmetology (30 completions), esthetician training (20 completions), and nail technician training (16 completions), out of four program families offered in total.

Federal data reports 66 trade program completers against an undergraduate enrollment of 28. The state average completion rate is 56.9%, but this campus's own completion rate and its comparison to that state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates and median earnings 10 years after entry are also not reported for this campus in federal data. The annual cost of attendance is listed at $26,299, and 58.7% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of the student body qualifies for need-based federal aid.

This campus centers on shorter, licensure-focused programs in cosmetology, esthetics, and nail technology rather than multi-year associate degrees, which may suit students seeking a faster path into a trade or career changers looking for a defined credential. Because completion, debt, and earnings figures are not reported here, prospective students should verify current outcomes and licensing requirements directly with the school or through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling.
