It’s no surprise that students from across North America are choosing the Academy of Make Up Arts to advance their careers in makeup, special effects, and wig & hair technology and costume design.
At AMUA, we offer individual leases that run the length of your specific training program(s). Individual leasing allows you and your roommates to pay rent separately so you never have to worry about roommates not paying their share!
Living in Student Housing is a great way to make friends and get involved. Not only are you making friends and memories that will last a lifetime, but you are also creating a foundation for success, connecting with faculty, and transitioning to AMUA life.
