About This School
Olympian Academy of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in LAS CRUCES, New Mexico with approximately 538 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,874 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $21,800 ten years out, which is modest but roughly in line with the cosmetology field overall, and the relatively low median debt of $6,584 means you won't be buried in loans after finishing. The bigger concern is the $20,874 average annual net price — for a program that typically runs 1-2 years, that cost can add up quickly, so make sure to negotiate financial aid aggressively and confirm exactly how many months the program takes. Worth considering if you're committed to a cosmetology career in the Las Cruces area and have a clear plan for building clientele after graduation, but comparison-shop with other local programs before committing.
