About This School
Academy of Beauty Professionals is a private for-profit institution located in Raymore, Missouri with approximately 36 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,899 per year. Typical graduates earn $19,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $19,400 ten years out, which is modest but somewhat reasonable given the relatively low median debt of $6,333 at graduation. The tiny enrollment of 36 students suggests a hands-on, personalized training environment, which can be a real advantage in a skills-based field like cosmetology. That said, the $23,899 annual net price is steep relative to what you're likely to earn, so it's worth comparing costs carefully against local community college cosmetology programs before committing.
