Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Nova Academy of Cosmetology increased from 0 to 1 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Nova Academy of Cosmetology rose from 0 to 1. The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Nova Academy of Cosmetology
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Nova Academy of Cosmetology sits on price and outcomes
At $21,473, Nova Academy of Cosmetology's reported average net price is cheaper than 74% among 80 Minnesota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,863.

- average net price

- Minnesota median
- 2.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,786
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $18,099 for families reporting under $30,000 against $24,885 above $110,000, a difference of $6,786. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $21,473 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($24,551) are less than 1.1 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling. 79% of students complete within six years, which is high and means the published price is what most students actually pay through to a credential.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
