University of Puerto Rico-Carolina

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

Reported outcomes show a four-year graduation rate of 26% and a six-year rate of 38% for the measured cohorts. A separately reported overall graduation rate is 37%. These figures use different reporting definitions or cohorts and should not be treated as interchangeable measures of one entering class.

For a student pursuing a bachelor's degree, the difference between the four- and six-year measures matters: finishing later can increase living and transportation expenses even when annual tuition is relatively modest. The reported student retention rate is 71%, a separate indicator of whether students continued their studies. None of these measures predicts an individual student's outcome or, by itself, explains why students did or did not complete a degree.

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

Field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited look at former students' early outcomes, not a salary forecast. College Scorecard figures reported for the period one year after completion include $24,523 for hospitality administration and management and $11,399 for clinical, counseling, and applied psychology.

Those amounts apply to the reported field-of-study populations, not to every graduate of those majors. The available figures do not establish a comparable result for every program, and earnings data can be affected by which former students are included, hours worked, local labor markets, and further education. Because the figures presented here do not identify whether the measure is a mean or median, readers should check the College Scorecard field definition before using either amount in a financial plan.
