Outcomes Overview
Graduates face significant financial challenges with median debt of $13,448 against earnings of just $26,223 ten years out. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 51% exceeds recommended levels of 30-40%. Monthly loan payments of $143 consume about 6.5% of typical graduate income. Only 45% of borrowers successfully repay their loans. Many graduates enter education, healthcare, and social services fields that serve Puerto Rico's Hispanic community. The 62% employment rate reflects local economic conditions and limited job market opportunities on the island. Given the low earnings relative to debt burden and poor loan repayment rates, this represents a weak return on investment despite the affordable tuition.
