Outcomes Overview
Graduates face significant financial challenges with median debt of $9,000 against earnings of just $24,539 ten years out. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 37% exceeds the recommended 10% threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $95 consume nearly 5% of typical graduate income, creating budget strain. The employment rate of 52% falls well below national averages for four-year degree holders. Many graduates find work in local government, healthcare, and education sectors within Puerto Rico's economy. However, the island's limited job market and economic challenges constrain earning potential. Despite affordable tuition, the combination of low post-graduation earnings and modest employment prospects delivers a weak return on investment.
