Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $7,802 annually after aid, while those making $75,000-$110,000 face $12,697 per year. Over four years, that ranges from $31,208 to $50,788 total. The published tuition of $5,580 tells only part of the story since 81% of students receive financial aid. Students graduate with a median debt of $9,000, translating to monthly payments of $95.

Those $95 monthly payments represent a significant burden given graduates earn a median of $24,539 ten years out. The monthly loan obligation consumes nearly 5% of typical graduate income. Students from the lowest-income families get the strongest value proposition here, paying less than half what wealthier families do. The university serves almost exclusively Puerto Rican residents, with 99% of students qualifying as in-state and nearly 100% identifying as Hispanic.
