About This School
Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Ponce is a private nonprofit institution located in Mercedita, PR with approximately 2,404 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 34% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $9,026 per year. The graduation rate is 41%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the remarkably low median debt at graduation ($4,850) and an average net price of just $8,245/year make this one of the most affordable private university options you'll find, which is genuinely impressive. However, the 43% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish, and that's worth taking seriously when planning your path. Worth considering if you need an affordable, accessible entry point into higher education and have a clear plan to stay on track, but go in with your eyes open about the completion challenge.
