The campus participates in federal financial aid programs (Title IV), meaning students may be eligible for FAFSA-based aid. Accreditation status was not found in the federal DAPIP database for this campus, so applicants should confirm current accreditation directly with the school.

Federal outcomes data available for this campus is limited.

Median debt of 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.
Given its focus on cosmetology, barber, esthetician, and massage therapy training, this campus may suit students seeking hands-on personal-care trade instruction rather than a multi-year associate degree path.
