Outcomes Overview
Graduates face significant financial challenges with median debt of $15,500 against earnings of just $24,908 ten years out. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 62% far exceeds the recommended 10% threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $164 consume roughly 8% of typical graduate income, creating substantial financial strain. Only 32% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. Many graduates enter Puerto Rico's healthcare, education, and social services sectors, which traditionally offer lower salaries but meaningful community impact. The university's Catholic mission attracts students to service-oriented careers that prioritize social good over financial gain. Despite affordable tuition, the combination of modest earnings and challenging loan repayment rates represents a weak return on investment.
