About This School

Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Carolina Campus is a private nonprofit institution located in Carolina, PR with approximately 4,468 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,761 per year. The graduation rate is 34%, and the typical graduate earns $22,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the low net price of $7,569/year and modest debt at graduation ($10,000) make this one of the more affordable private options in Puerto Rico, which is a genuine plus. However, a 36% graduation rate is a serious concern — only about 1 in 3 students finishes, and the 70% freshman retention rate suggests many leave before even completing their second year. If you're considering this school, go in with a clear plan and strong support system, because the odds of completing a degree here are not in your favor without one.
