Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $35,723 ten years after leaving, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 15% with typical debt loads of $5,500. Monthly loan payments of $58 represent only 2% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's strong connections to Puerto Rico's government, healthcare, and education sectors help explain why 48.4% of graduates find employment. Many alumni pursue careers in public service, following the path of notable graduates like former governor Luis Muñoz Marín. While earnings lag behind mainland U.S. averages, they align with Puerto Rico's cost of living and local salary expectations. This represents a strong return on investment for in-territory students.
