About This School

Empire Beauty School-Hanover is a private for-profit institution located in Hanover, Pennsylvania with approximately 55 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,843 per year. The graduation rate is 81%, and the typical graduate earns $25,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is a strong fit for students who are focused, career-minded, and want to enter the cosmetology field quickly without taking on mountains of debt. The graduation rate of 81% is genuinely impressive for a vocational program — it suggests students who start here tend to finish, which matters a lot in this category of school. The median debt at graduation is a manageable $13,583, which is a real bright spot and means you won't be buried financially when you're just starting out. That said, I want to be honest with you: median earnings of $25,900 ten years after enrollment is modest, and you'll want to think carefully about your budget and cost of living in your area before committing. My practical advice is to visit the school, talk to recent graduates about their job placement experience, and confirm that the program's licensing exam pass rates are strong — because in this field, your license is everything.
