Entourage Institute
of Beauty and Esthetics
For-profit College in Lincoln, NE. Six-year graduation rate 60%.
60% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Graduates leave owing a median of $9,955 — modest by four-year standards.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 60%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention of 83% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 18:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 102 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
