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

Reported completion outcomes for Caribbean University-Vega Baja include an overall graduation rate of 50% and a six-year rate of 44%. The reported four-year rate is 11%. These figures answer different measurement questions and should not be added together or read as the probability that any particular incoming student will graduate.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students over specified periods; they may not describe transfer students or adults attending part time. Reported first-year retention is 65%, a separate measure of whether students continue from one year to the next. Because this is a small location, changes involving relatively few students may noticeably affect percentages. Applicants comparing programs should ask for completion information for their intended credential and whether its required courses are available often enough to support their planned timeline.

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

Program-level federal earnings figures reported for Caribbean University-Vega Baja include $16,004 for criminal justice and corrections and $14,156 for practical nursing-related study, measured one year after completion. These are reported outcomes for the populations included in the underlying federal measure, not salaries promised to new students.

One-year earnings are an incomplete picture of a career. They can reflect occupation, hours worked, local labor conditions, and whether a former student continued studying. They also should not be used to infer earnings for other Vega Baja programs. For a regulated field such as practical nursing, applicants should consider licensing requirements and verified program outcomes alongside any earnings figure.
