About This School
Bellus Academy-Chula Vista is a private for-profit institution located in Chula Vista, California with approximately 341 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,738 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $21,100 ten years out, which is a modest return that will make repaying even the relatively low median debt of $6,333 feel tight on a cosmetology or esthetics income. The $20,159 annual net price is a real cost for a program that typically runs 1-2 years, so make sure you're comparing that against your expected hourly rate and client base in your area. Worth considering if you're committed to this specific trade and value the hands-on training, but go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling.
