Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, abbreviated "USC" and often called simply Sagrado, is a private Catholic university in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is one of the oldest and largest educational institutions in Puerto Rico with origins dating back to the 1880 establishment of an elementary school by the Society of the Sacred Heart.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $13,024 average annual cost after aid is genuinely affordable, and the $11,250 median debt at graduation is quite low, which matters. However, the 44% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly half of students who start don't finish — and median earnings of $23,400 a decade after enrollment suggest limited financial upside for most graduates. Worth considering if you're committed to staying enrolled, cost is your primary driver, and you plan to build your career within Puerto Rico's job market.
