PROGRAM INTEGRITY AND ACCREDITATION

Paul Mitchell The School Columbia is an additional location accredited by
the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS)
and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Each agency requires
schools to provide important information regarding outcome rates in the
areas of completion, placement, and licensure; however, each agency
requires that we provide outcome rates differently. NACCAS requires schools
to list the outcome rates for the main campus and all additional campuses
as a whole. In this case, Paul Mitchell The School Columbia is an
additional campus of Paul Mitchell The School Charleston, the outcome rates
provided are for all schools under this structure. NACCAS requires schools
to list the outcome rates also by a related program. The U.S. Department of
Education requires outcome rates be provided based upon this individual
location which is listed below. Outcome rates have also been provided for
the individual school you are interested in attending. If you have any
questions regarding our outcome rates, please see our Admissions Team for
assistance.

On-time completion is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as anyone
who graduates within the normal completion time. When a student completes
their graduation requirements, including all theory and practical
assignments, and the required number of clock hours without missing any
time, that student is considered to have graduated on-time. If a student
misses any time for any reason, such as family responsibilities, day care
issues, and other life events, they are not considered an on-time graduate.
The school’s on-time graduation rate is listed on each course paged under
Gainful Employment. Please note that our graduation rates that are provided
in the school catalog are based on how many students started the program
and how many completed within the reporting period

Graduation: Based on all students scheduled to graduate from the program in
2022. The scheduled graduation date is a student’s most recent contract end
date (i.e., the contract end date after all leaves of absence, schedule
changes and re-enrollments have been accounted for).A student may count as
a graduate if they have completed all applicable graduation requirements at
the institution.

Licensure: Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who sat for all
parts of their required licensure exam prior to November 30, 2023. A
student in the licensure cohort may count as a “pass” if they pass all
required portions of the examination prior to November 30, 2023.

Placement: Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who are eligible
for placement. A student may count as placed if they are employed in a
field for which their training prepared them prior to November 30, 2023.
