About This School

Pinnacle Institute of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Mooresville, North Carolina with approximately 18 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,000 per year. The graduation rate is 46%, and the typical graduate earns $22,786 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're set on cosmetology and want to keep debt manageable — the median graduate leaves with just $9,833 in loans, which is relatively low for a vocational program. However, the $16,894 annual net price at a 55-student school means you're paying a premium for a very small program, so it's worth pressing the admissions office hard on job placement rates and graduate earnings before signing anything.
