About This School

The numbers tell a mixed story here: with median earnings of just $18,600 a decade after enrollment, graduates are earning well below what most people expect from a college investment, even accounting for the relatively low median debt of $6,083. The small campus (92 students) and affordable net price of $11,720/year may appeal if you're focused specifically on cosmetology training in the McAllen area and want a tight-knit environment. Worth considering only if you have a clear, local career plan in the industry — otherwise, the earnings outlook makes it hard to recommend over alternatives.
