Midwest Barber College
For-profit College in Topeka, KS.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. At 46 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
