About This School
Ohio State Beauty Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Lima, Ohio with approximately 96 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,962 per year. Typical graduates earn $18,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with median earnings of just $18,700 a decade after enrollment, graduates are earning well below what most people expect from a post-secondary investment, even accounting for the relatively modest average net price of $6,962 per year. The low median debt at graduation ($5,500) is a genuine bright spot, meaning students aren't buried in loans — but that relief only goes so far when entry-level cosmetology wages in Ohio are this tight. Worth considering if you're committed to the beauty trades, have local job prospects already in mind, and are treating this as a focused trade credential rather than a path to a higher-earning career.
