About This School
Nova Academy of Cosmetology Woodbury is a private for-profit institution located in WOODBURY, Minnesota with approximately 56 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,898 per year. Typical graduates earn $27,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the median debt at graduation is a manageable $6,333, which is genuinely low for a vocational program, but graduates tend to earn around $27,200 ten years out — meaning your earning ceiling in this field is modest and worth factoring into your decision. This is a very small school with just 56 students, so expect an intimate environment, though that also means fewer resources and peer networking than larger programs. Worth considering if you're committed to cosmetology as a career, live locally, and plan to keep costs tight — just go in with clear eyes about the income trajectory.
