Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $18,694 ten years after completing their programs. Nearly 44% find employment after graduation, though this reflects the challenging job market in Puerto Rico. With virtually no federal loans taken by students, most avoid significant debt burdens. The average net price of $4,863 means graduates typically face minimal loan payments relative to their earnings. Many enter healthcare support roles, office administration, and technical fields that serve the local Arecibo economy. While earnings remain well below mainland U.S. averages, the low debt load combined with local employment opportunities creates a reasonable return on investment for students seeking affordable career training in Puerto Rico's economic context.
Verdict: Average return on investment.
