Outcomes Overview
EDP University graduates face financial challenges after completing their degrees. The median debt of $14,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 61% based on first-year earnings of $22,844. Monthly loan payments of $148 consume about 7.8% of gross monthly income, which is manageable compared to the recommended 10% threshold. However, the employment rate of 77.7% means nearly one in four graduates struggles to find work. The low loan repayment rate of 41.44% suggests many borrowers have difficulty meeting their obligations despite relatively modest debt loads. Given the combination of below-average earnings, moderate employment prospects, and repayment struggles in Puerto Rico's challenging economy, this represents a weak return on investment.
