Identifying Quality Schools at More Affordable Prices
Finding the Best Cosmetology Basic Certificate School for You
Cosmetology is one of the most popular subjects to study in Oklahoma. With 1,553 degrees and certificates handed out in 2021-2022, it ranked 4th out of all the majors we track in the state.
When it comes to higher education, there are a lot of options for trade school students. You're no longer limited to schools in your local area, either, since online programs are becoming more prevalent.
To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Trade College Search has developed this Best Value Cosmetology Basic Certificate Schools in Oklahoma ranking. Our analysis looked at 8 schools in Oklahoma to see which basic certificate programs offered the best value experiences for cosmetology students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.
This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.
For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
