VICI Beauty School
For-profit College in Greenfield, WI. Six-year graduation rate 88%. Median 10-year earnings $32,393.
Ten-year median earnings of $32,393 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate of 88% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Graduates leave owing a median of $6,333 — modest by four-year standards. Mobility is where this school separates itself: 2.0% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top.

Academics
88% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a for-profit two-year institution, 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 185 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 185 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,033 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $8,405 at $0–30k against $15,243 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 78% of students at an average of $6,473. 74% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $8,405 |
| $30–48k | $13,390 |
| $48–75k | $8,051 |
