Outcomes Overview
Graduates enter Puerto Rico's mental health sector with manageable debt loads. The median debt of $5,500 creates monthly payments of just $58, representing only 1.4% of typical post-graduation income. This debt-to-income ratio sits well below the national average of 10-15% for college graduates. Psychology and counseling professionals in Puerto Rico earn the $41,544 median within five years of graduation. The employment rate of 75.9% reflects steady demand for bilingual mental health professionals across the island and mainland US. Many graduates pursue clinical licensure or continue to doctoral programs. The loan repayment rate of 45% suggests some struggle with payments despite low absolute amounts. Given the specialized training, low debt burden, and stable career prospects in an underserved market, Albizu offers a strong return on investment for aspiring mental health professionals.
