University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras

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

About 50% of the first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort in the reported IPEDS graduation measure completed within six years. The reported four-year rate was 11%, a substantial difference for students estimating how long they might pay tuition and living expenses.

These measures follow defined entering cohorts; they are not the share of every student, transfer student, or graduate student who eventually earns a degree. The reported first-year retention rate was 77%, measuring a different outcome: whether eligible first-time students returned the following fall. Completion rates do not explain why individual students leave or take longer. A prospective student should ask their intended department for a semester-by-semester course plan and check how often required classes are offered, especially if finishing within four years is financially important.

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

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion, not a forecast of what a new student will make. Among the reported figures, the median was $29,611 for finance and $21,004 for marketing; the reported median for psychology was $12,250.

These are program-level results for graduates represented in the federal data, not salaries for every graduate or guaranteed starting offers. Employment status, further study, hours worked, occupation, and the labor market can all affect an early-career figure. One-year results are particularly incomplete for students who pursue graduate education or professional credentials. When comparing majors, consider the curriculum and likely next steps alongside earnings: a higher reported figure for one program does not establish that its graduates had identical opportunities or circumstances.
