About this school

This small, rural campus (28 undergraduate enrollment, 17 trade completers) appears geared toward students pursuing focused, licensure-track training in practical nursing or cosmetology rather than broad academic study. The setting and program mix may suit adults changing careers who want a shorter, occupation-specific credential close to home, though program length itself is not stated in this data. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and review outcome details on the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling, since some figures—like graduate debt—are not captured here.
