ICPR Junior College-Arecibo
For-profit College in Arecibo, PR. Six-year graduation rate 60%. Median 10-year earnings $18,694.
Ten-year median earnings of $18,694 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Six-year completion sits at 60%, near the national average for undergraduate institutions.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
60% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Just 58% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 348 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 348 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $6,735 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $6,201 at the $0–30k band to $15,258 at $75–110k. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $7,698, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $6,201 |
| $30–48k | $11,410 |
| $48–75k | $12,960 |
| $75–110k | $15,258 |
