Renaissance Beauty Academy
For-profit College in Cape Girardeau, MO.
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. Retention is strong at 83%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. At 105 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 105 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,808 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,802 at $0–30k against $16,998 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 34% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 17% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,802 |
| $30–48k | $13,265 |
| $48–75k | $14,559 |
| $75–110k | $11,205 |
| $110k+ | $16,998 |
