Why Beauty School
Affiliations Matter


When you’re choosing a beauty school, it’s about more than just location or scheduling—it’s about investing in your future. At Tricoci University of Beauty Culture, we believe that strong affiliations and accreditation aren’t just badges—they’re proof that our programs meet industry standards and help you stay ahead in a competitive field.
Accreditation ensures that a school has been reviewed and approved by recognized agencies for delivering quality education. Tricoci University is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS), which means our curriculum, instructors, and outcomes meet rigorous national standards. This accreditation also allows eligible students to apply for federal financial aid, which can make beauty education more affordable and accessible.
Beyond accreditation, Tricoci University maintains strong relationships with professional beauty organizations and top product partners. These connections provide students with opportunities for real-world exposure, continuing education, and career development. From brand training sessions and guest speakers to job placement support after graduation, our affiliations directly benefit your learning experience.
We also stay connected to the industry through our involvement with initiatives that promote inclusion, innovation, and excellence in beauty education. Whether it’s staying updated on licensing requirements or partnering with nonprofits that support beauty professionals, Tricoci is committed to helping students build careers that last.
