About This School
Trend Setters School is a private for-profit institution located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with approximately 65 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,521 per year. The graduation rate is 72%, and the typical graduate earns $23,185 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to cosmetology and beauty careers who want to keep debt manageable might find this school worth a closer look — the median debt at graduation is a relatively low $10,667, which is a real bright spot in an industry where overborrowing is common. That said, the earnings picture is genuinely concerning: graduates are bringing home a median of $23,185 ten years after enrolling, which is tight for covering living expenses, loan repayment, and building any financial cushion. The 72% graduation rate is decent for a small vocational school, but with only 65 students enrolled, the campus experience will be intimate almost to a fault — limited peer community, fewer resources, and little room for error if the program or instructors aren't a strong fit for you personally. If you're set on this field and this region, the low debt load makes it less risky than many for-profit alternatives, but I'd strongly encourage you to talk to recent graduates about actual job placement and starting wages in the Cape Girardeau market before committing. This school could be a reasonable stepping stone if you go in with eyes open — just make sure you have a clear plan for building income beyond that $23K median.
