What are the graduation rates for students at University of Puerto Rico at Cayey?

UPR Cayey's reported six-year graduation rate is 50% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort; its four-year rate is 9%. In practical terms, the figures show that completion within four years is much less common than completion within six years for that cohort.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, measuring how many students returned the following year rather than how many ultimately graduated. These measures do not describe every student: transfer students and many part-time entrants are outside the standard first-time, full-time graduation cohort. Students estimating their own timeline should examine course sequencing, required classes, and the frequency with which those classes are offered in their intended major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Puerto Rico at Cayey?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide an early-career earnings snapshot, not a salary forecast for every UPR Cayey graduate. The reported measure concerns median earnings approximately one year after completion among graduates included in the federal field-of-study earnings measure.

Among the fields with published figures, the one-year median is $18,494 for natural sciences, $13,712 for the reported psychology category, $11,905 for subject-area teacher education, $11,525 for accounting, and $10,219 for general biology. These are different programs and should not be read as a ranking of their long-term value. Early earnings can reflect further study, part-time work, occupation, location, and the relatively short time since graduation; small program cohorts can also limit what is published.
