Outcomes Overview
Graduates face significant financial challenges with median debt of $14,250 against median earnings of just $24,490 ten years out. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 58% exceeds the recommended 40% threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $151 consume about 7.4% of typical graduate income, which is reasonable if graduates can find steady work. However, only 56.3% of graduates are employed, and the loan repayment rate stands at just 43.35%. Many graduates enter Puerto Rico's service sector, education, and healthcare fields where salaries remain modest. The combination of low earnings, high unemployment, and poor loan repayment rates creates a weak return on investment despite relatively affordable tuition.
