About This School

Universidad Central de Bayamon is a private nonprofit institution located in Bayamón, PR with approximately 594 undergraduate students enrolled. Universidad Central de Bayamon has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 86%. The average net price after financial aid is $4,285 per year. The graduation rate is 38%, and the typical graduate earns $21,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the remarkably low net price of $4,285/year and modest debt at graduation ($7,250) make this one of the most affordable college options you'll find, which matters. However, a 38% graduation rate is a real concern — only about 4 in 10 students who start here finish, and median earnings of $21,600 a decade out suggest limited financial return even for those who do. Worth considering if cost is the primary barrier and you have a clear plan to stay on track, but ask hard questions about support services before committing.
