Caribbean University-Ponce

What are the graduation rates for students at Caribbean University-Ponce?

IPEDS completion figures report a 37% overall graduation rate for Caribbean University-Ponce in the 2024-25 data. The reported four-year rate is 24%, while the six-year rate is 33%. These measures should be read with their respective cohort definitions, not added together or interpreted as a forecast for an individual student.

The reported student-retention rate is 76%, a different measure that concerns continued enrollment rather than graduation. Completion statistics can help applicants ask useful questions: how often required Ponce courses are offered, whether a major has a fixed sequence, and what happens if a student attends part time or changes programs. The figures alone do not establish why students did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Caribbean University-Ponce?

Program-level College Scorecard figures reported for one year after completion include $16,004 for criminal justice and corrections and $14,156 for practical nursing, vocational nursing, and nursing assistants. They are historical measures for the students covered by those program records, not starting-salary offers to every graduate or campus-specific job-placement promises.

When comparing earnings, check the exact credential and program behind a figure. Work location, hours, occupation, further study, and the size of a reporting group can substantially affect what an estimate means. A prospective student should weigh earnings alongside completion prospects, total borrowing, licensing requirements, and the cost of reaching the desired job. For employment support, ask the Ponce campus which staff help with internships, résumés, interviews, and employer contacts in the intended field.
