About This School
Milan Institute of Cosmetology-El Paso is a private for-profit institution located in El Paso, Texas with approximately 448 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $26,656 per year. The graduation rate is 51%, and the typical graduate earns $21,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who have a clear, immediate passion for cosmetology and want hands-on training in a career-focused environment — but families should go in with eyes open, because the numbers here raise real concerns. The graduation rate sits at just 51%, meaning roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is worth asking the school directly about before committing. On the financial side, the median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $6,333, but the average net price of $26,656 per year is steep when you consider that graduates are earning a median of $21,000 a decade after enrolling — that's below a living wage in most cities, including El Paso. If your student is set on cosmetology, I'd strongly encourage comparing this program against community college cosmetology programs in the area, which often cost significantly less and lead to similar earnings outcomes. The low debt figure is a silver lining, but only if your student is confident they'll complete the program — dropping out with debt and no credential is the worst outcome here.
