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

Reported graduation data show that 10% of the measured cohort completed within four years and 46% within six years. The six-year figure gives a broader view of completion than the four-year figure, but neither predicts an individual student's result.

These federal-style graduation measures primarily follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students entering a bachelor's-degree pathway. They should not be read as the completion rate for all transfer students, part-time students, or adult learners. UPRH's reported first-year retention rate is 81%, meaning that most students in the measured entering group continued to the next year; retention and graduation measure different outcomes.

For budgeting, the gap between four- and six-year completion is consequential. An applicant can ask a department for a sample degree plan, course rotation, and guidance on when prerequisites must be taken to estimate a realistic path through the major.

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

College Scorecard field-level figures supplied for UPRH describe earnings measured one year after graduation, not a starting-salary offer or a guaranteed outcome. Reported figures include $23,581 for nursing, $16,251 for accounting, and $13,131 for general biology.

Those amounts should be interpreted cautiously. They concern measured former students in particular fields and at a particular point in time; they do not show what every graduate earned, what any one employer pays, or how earnings change with experience. Field-level comparisons can also be affected by differences in further study, hours worked, occupation, and the number of graduates with reportable earnings.

Students comparing majors may find these figures useful as one piece of evidence, alongside program cost, licensure requirements, local job opportunities, and the possibility of graduate study.
