Is Universidad Adventista de las Antillas Worth It?

Universidad Adventista de las Antillas keeps your costs low, but the payoff is thin. Net price sits under $9,000 a year and median debt at graduation is modest, so you won't leave buried in loans. The problem is what comes after: median earnings ten years out land below $29,000, which is weak even for someone who took on little debt.

The two programs with published bachelor's outcomes both underperform. Theological and Ministerial Studies pays under $24,000 a year but carries $31,000 in debt, the highest debt load listed against one of the lower salaries. That combination is the worst financial bet here. Nursing pays even less at graduation on paper, but its debt is roughly half, so the math works out better despite the lower headline number. Neither program clears $24,000, so a strong salary is not what you should expect from this school.

The specific risk is the theology degree: borrowing $31,000 for a job market that pays low ministerial wages in Puerto Rico leaves you stretched. Pair that with a 46% graduation rate, and there's a real chance you pay tuition, borrow, and leave without the credential.

The net price tiers barely move with income. A family under $30,000 pays about $8,100. a family earning $75,000 to $110,000 pays around $11,900. That flat structure means low-income families get little extra discount here, though the absolute price stays affordable across the board.

This school fits you if you want a low-cost, Adventist-affiliated education close to home in western Puerto Rico and are entering nursing, where debt stays contained. Look elsewhere if you need earnings power to justify the cost, especially before borrowing $31,000 for theology.
