Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios Cost & Financial Aid

Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios charges $5,760 per year for all students, whether they live in Puerto Rico or elsewhere. Over four years, families pay $23,040 total for tuition. This makes it one of the most affordable private universities you'll find anywhere in the United States or its territories.

The school's tiny size of just 5 students means it operates more like a specialized training program than a traditional college. With 100% Hispanic enrollment and its location in Hato Rey's business district, it serves Puerto Rican professionals looking to advance specific career skills. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio suggests highly personalized attention, though the for-profit structure means the focus stays practical rather than academic. Working professionals who need flexible scheduling and can benefit from the school's particular programs get the best value here, especially compared to mainland private colleges that often cost ten times more.
