Universal Spa Training Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Downers Grove, Illinois with approximately 144 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,547 per year.
Worth considering if you're set on spa and esthetics training — the median graduation debt of just $6,861 is impressively low, suggesting students aren't taking on crushing loans to complete the program. That said, the $20,547 annual net price is still a significant investment for a certificate-level program, so you'll want to research local job placement rates and starting salaries carefully before committing. With only 144 students, you'll get a small-school experience, but make sure to ask hard questions about graduate employment outcomes.
