About This School
Nova Academy of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Rochester, Minnesota with approximately 205 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,473 per year.
The numbers tell a reassuringly modest story here — graduates leave with a median debt of just $7,863, which is notably low for a vocational program and suggests students aren't overextending themselves financially. That said, the average net price of nearly $30,000 per year is steep for a cosmetology credential, so it's worth pressing the school hard on financial aid and comparing total program costs against local competitors. Worth considering if you're drawn to the small, focused environment and can secure strong aid packaging — but do the math carefully before committing.
