About this school
Empire Beauty School-Boston is a private for-profit trade campus located in Boston, Massachusetts. Federal data does not confirm an accreditor for this campus (listed as "Not found in DAPIP"), and this campus does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning FAFSA and Pell Grants cannot be used here. The school's primary program family is cosmetology, with 52 students reported as completers in cosmetology programs, the only program family listed for this campus.
Federal outcomes data for this campus is limited. The statewide average completion rate for comparable programs in Massachusetts is 59.7%, but this campus's own completion rate compared to that 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 this campus offers a single program family — cosmetology — it may suit students seeking focused, hands-on training in that specific trade, though whether this fits an adult career-changer cannot be inferred beyond the program subject itself, since program length and schedule details are not reported here. Because federal financial aid does not apply at this campus, prospective students should ask directly about payment options. Anyone considering enrollment should verify accreditation status and outcomes directly through the school's website or by using the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard tool before making a decision.
