About Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Broken Arrow is a city in Tulsa and Wagoner counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Members of that community were expelled from Alabama by the United States government, along the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. The Creek founded a new community in the Indian Territory and named it after their old settlement in Alabama. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Broken Arrow Beauty College funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years): $23,722
Typical debt at graduation: $6,333
Debt vs. one year's pay: 27%
Out-earn a HS grad: 24%

Typical debt would take roughly 2.7 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
