Ohio State
School of Cosmetology-Heath
For-profit College in Heath, OH. Six-year graduation rate 84%. Median 10-year earnings $25,078.
Ten-year median earnings of $25,078 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate of 84% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Median debt at graduation is $9,900, 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.
- ✓ Graduation rate 84% — well above the national average
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion runs to 84% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 91% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. 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
Average net price after grant aid is $15,971 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($14,590 versus $20,691), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 56% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,251 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 65% 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 | $14,590 |
| $30–48k | $14,690 |
| $48–75k | $17,871 |
