Clarksburg Beauty
Academy and School of Massage Therapy
For-profit College in Clarksburg, WV. Six-year graduation rate 73%. Median 10-year earnings $16,306.
Ten-year median earnings of $16,306 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate of 73% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $6,415.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
73% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 94 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 94 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $10,627 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $10,507 at $0–30k, $12,317 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 65% of students at an average of $5,797. About 30% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
