About this school

LaSalle Tech is a private for-profit trade school located in Houma, Louisiana, in a small city setting. It is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and participates in the federal Title IV financial aid program, meaning students may use FAFSA, Pell Grants, and federal loans to help pay for their education. The campus offers 8 program families, with the most common being cosmetology schools, esthetician schools, and nail technician schools, along with medical assistant and barber programs.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 88.1%, which is above the Louisiana state average of 59.2%. Graduates carry a median debt of $6,333, and median earnings 10 years after entry are reported at $20,975. The annual cost of attendance is $19,459, and 81.1% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a largely low-income student population. Program length is not reported for this campus in federal data.

With 193 undergraduate students and 121 trade completers, LaSalle Tech appears to be a smaller, hands-on training environment centered on cosmetology and personal-care fields. The relatively low debt figure alongside modest post-completion earnings suggests shorter, lower-cost programs rather than degree-length study, though exact program duration is not reported for this campus in federal data. Prospective students, including career changers, should verify current program offerings, accreditation status, and outcomes directly with the school or through the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling.
