Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $24,776 ten years after leaving, which reflects Puerto Rico's lower cost of living but also limited economic opportunities. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.25 is actually quite favorable compared to many mainland institutions. Monthly loan payments of $66 represent about 3.2% of typical graduate income, making debt manageable for most borrowers. The 48.6% employment rate indicates challenges in the local job market, though many graduates find work in education, healthcare, and business sectors throughout the Caribbean region. The university's bilingual education prepares students for both local and international opportunities. Despite modest earnings, the combination of low debt and affordable living costs creates an average return on investment.
