G. Mendez-Carolina Campus
Private College in Carolina, PR. Six-year graduation rate 33%. Median 10-year earnings $24,328.
Ten-year median earnings of $24,328 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is the weak point: 33% graduate within six years. Median debt at graduation is $14,500, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 33% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. Retention drops to 16% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. The 27:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,404 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $7,761 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $7,401 at $0–30k against $6,301 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $4,761 on average. 32% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $7,401 |
| $30–48k | $7,506 |
| $48–75k | $10,546 |
| $75–110k | $10,745 |
| $110k+ | $6,301 |
