A good fit for families who need the lowest possible cost and students who want small classes and close faculty access. fewer than half of freshmen return for sophomore year; for-profit institutions have higher scrutiny — research carefully. financial aid brings net price below sticker; 80% of students receive Pell Grants — strong access mission.
About This School
Huertas College is a private for-profit institution located in Caguas, PR with approximately 430 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,401 per year. The graduation rate is 46%, and the typical graduate earns $22,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the low median debt at graduation ($6,625) and affordable net price are genuine advantages, but a 50% freshman retention rate means half of entering students don't make it to sophomore year — a red flag worth taking seriously. The 58% graduation rate and $22,200 median earnings a decade out suggest that even for students who finish, the financial return is modest. Worth considering only if this program aligns tightly with a specific career goal in the local Puerto Rico market and you have a clear plan to stay enrolled.
