About This School
Empire Beauty School-Glen Burnie is a private for-profit institution located in Glen Burnie, Maryland with approximately 77 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,199 per year. The graduation rate is 31%, and the typical graduate earns $24,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are committed to a career in cosmetology and want to enter the workforce quickly without taking on massive debt — but the numbers here deserve a hard, honest look before you commit. The 31% graduation rate is a serious red flag, meaning roughly 7 out of 10 students who start here don't finish, which should prompt you to ask the school directly what's driving that and what support systems exist for students who struggle. On the financial side, the median debt at graduation is a manageable $13,000, but the median earnings 10 years out are only $24,500 — that's a tight budget to build a life on, even if the debt itself isn't crushing. If your student is absolutely set on cosmetology and Glen Burnie is a convenient location, make sure they have a clear plan to actually finish the program, because the biggest risk here isn't the cost — it's not completing at all. Before enrolling, I'd strongly encourage visiting the school, talking to current students, and asking what percentage of graduates pass their licensing exam on the first attempt, since that number will tell you more about the real-world value of this program than almost anything else.
