The campus offers one program family, cosmetology schools, which accounted for 18 program completers in the most recent reporting period. Accreditation status for this campus was not found in the Department of Accreditation and Preaccreditation Institutions Program (DAPIP) database, and federal financial aid (Title IV, including FAFSA and Pell Grants) does not apply here according to the data provided, so students should confirm current status directly with the school.

Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are all not reported for this campus in federal data.
