Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay about $23,175 annually at Douglas Education Center, while those making over $110,000 pay around $30,867. The complete two-year program costs between $46,350 and $61,734 depending on family income. Only 18% of students receive institutional grants averaging $6,832.

Most graduates leave with $12,000 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $127. That payment represents about 5% of the $30,814 median salary ten years after graduation. The 42% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle initially, likely because first-year earnings average just $19,759. Three-quarters of students take federal loans to fund their specialized training in makeup artistry, culinary arts, and audio engineering.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here. The $7,692 difference between the lowest and highest net prices makes Douglas more accessible to families earning less than $30,000.
