About This School
Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Arecibo is a private nonprofit institution located in Arecibo, PR with approximately 2,275 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 38% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $8,036 per year. The graduation rate is 35%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the average net price of just $8,036/year and a median debt of only $6,750 at graduation make this one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, which is genuinely impressive. However, the 35% graduation rate is a serious concern — it means nearly two out of three students who start here don't finish, so you'll want to ask hard questions about academic support, life circumstances, and what's driving that number. Worth considering if cost is your primary barrier and you have a clear plan to stay on track, but go in with eyes open.
