About This School

Cosmetology Training Center is a private for-profit institution located in Lafayette, Louisiana with approximately 125 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,130 per year. The graduation rate is 79%, and the typical graduate earns $16,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the median debt at graduation is a manageable $7,350, graduates are earning a median of just $16,000 ten years after enrollment, which leaves very little financial breathing room and raises real questions about long-term return on investment. This is a small, focused program in Lafayette that could work if you're committed to cosmetology as a career and have strong local job prospects lined up, but you should go in clear-eyed that the earnings ceiling in this field is low. Worth considering only if you've researched local salon demand and have a concrete plan — not just a passion for the craft.
