College of Puerto Rico
Private College in Aguadilla, PR. Six-year graduation rate 65%. Median 10-year earnings $19,878.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $19,878, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Six-year completion sits at 65%, 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
65% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. The 6:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 538 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 538 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $6,212 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,129 at $0–30k against $8,912 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $4,530, 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 | $6,129 |
| $30–48k | $6,416 |
| $48–75k | $6,446 |
| $75–110k | $8,912 |
| $110k+ | — |
