About This School
Michigan College of Beauty-Troy is a private for-profit institution located in Troy, Michigan with approximately 220 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,710 per year. Typical graduates earn $25,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $25,500 ten years out, which is modest but aligns with regional cosmetology wages, and the relatively low median debt of $6,333 at graduation means you won't be buried in loans. However, the $19,710 annual net price is steep for a career-focused program when you factor in that earnings ceiling, so it's worth comparing total program cost against local community college cosmetology options before committing. Worth considering if you want a small, focused environment in the Troy area and can minimize borrowing — but run the numbers carefully first.
