Emma's Beauty Academy-Mayaguez
For-profit College in Mayaguez, PR.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 296 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 296 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $4,514 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($4,334 versus $7,843), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 87% of students receive it, averaging $4,891.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $4,334 |
| $30–48k | $4,904 |
| $48–75k | $7,843 |
