About this school

The Forum Academy of Cosmetology Aesthetics is a trade school campus located in American Fork, Utah. The school is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, with accreditation status listed as Accredited. Its program offerings are concentrated in two families: cosmetology and esthetics. Notably, this campus does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning FAFSA-based grants and loans cannot be used to pay for programs here.

Federal Scorecard data on this campus's outcomes is limited. Completion rate compared to the state average is not reported for this campus in federal data. 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. Because the school does not participate in Title IV programs, it may not be required to report the same outcome metrics that Title IV schools must submit to the Department of Education.

This campus appears to serve students interested in cosmetology and esthetics training specifically, though details on program length and schedule are not included in the data provided. Prospective students, including adult career-changers, should contact the school directly to ask about program length, schedule format, and total cost, since these are not reported here. To verify accreditation status independently, check with the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences directly, and search the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for any available data, keeping in mind that non-Title IV schools often have sparse federal records.
