Michael's Barber
& Hair Stylist Academy
For-profit College in Irving, TX.
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 of 83% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 74 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 74 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,033 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $18,033 at $0–30k, $23,911 at $30–48k. About 77% get grants averaging $4,666, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 85% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
