The average net price after financial aid is $16,844 per year. The graduation rate is 73%, and the typical graduate earns $19,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

On the positive side, the median debt at graduation is a relatively low $5,500, meaning you won't be buried in loans, and the net price of about $11,000 per year is manageable for a focused cosmetology program.
