Institute Ranks #1 in Cosmetology by Washington Monthly Magazine</h3><p>Ranked #1 Best Vocational Programs For Cosmetology In America in 2022</p><p>The Lia Schorr Institute of Cosmetic Skin Care Training has been rated number one on Washington Monthly’s 2022 list of the best vocational programs for cosmetology in America. To date, the magazine is the only publication to rank the country’s best schools for vocational licenses using post-graduate statistics. Rankings are calculated based on the ratio of the median earnings of students after one year of graduation to the median federal loan debt of the graduates. According to this year’s report, the total debt as a percent of annual earnings for students who obtained a license at the Lia Schorr Institute was only 16%.</p><p>It is no surprise that the school holds an impeccable reputation. For years, the institute has been praised for its excellence and attentiveness. The institute currently has over 200 five-star reviews. Students have nothing but good things to say, as a quick Google search would prove.</p><p>“I have nothing but positive things to say about this institution. The instructors and administrative staff are dedicated to maintaining a high caliber experience for their students. I highly recommend anyone in pursuit of an esthetics career to garner their education and training at the Lia Schorr Institute,” stated one recent graduate.</p><p>The Lia Schorr Institute of Cosmetic Skin Care Training offers students an opportunity to train with Ms. Schorr in a rewarding and demanding program that combines lecture, written assignments and extensive clinical experience. From day one, students are immersed in both practical instruction and theory to achieve a well-rounded education. The Lia Schorr Institute strives to exceed the highest of standards with a focus on passing the state licensing examination. To that end, the New York State’s Esthetics curriculum is strictly adhered to. Students reap the benefi ts of having Instructors that have taught at the school for 20 years.

To build the rankings, we pulled numbers for the ten most common undergraduate certificate programs from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard dataset. For each program, we rank colleges according to the median earnings of their students one year after graduation. For informational purposes, we also show the median federal student loan debt and a debt-to-earnings ratio.</p><p>Click <a
