Morgantown Beauty
College Inc
For-profit College in Morgantown, WV. Six-year graduation rate 72%. Median 10-year earnings $22,230.
Ten-year median earnings of $22,230 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is a strength: 72% of students finish within six years. Median debt at graduation is $6,365, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.29 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
72% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 84% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 127 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 127 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $12,823 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $10,684 at $0–30k, $18,079 at $110k+. About 53% get grants averaging $5,472, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 60% take federal loans.
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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,684 |
| $30–48k | $11,034 |
| $48–75k | $13,634 |
