About This School

University of Puerto Rico-Bayamon is a public institution located in Bayamon, PR with approximately 2,851 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 35% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $8,484 per year. The graduation rate is 37%.

The University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón is a public university in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. It is part of the University of Puerto Rico System (UPR) and is better known as CUTB, formerly the Colegio Universitario Tecnológico de Bayamón in Spanish. It is the third-largest campus in the UPR system by population.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $9,657/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere in the U.S. — a genuine financial win for cost-conscious students. However, the 31% graduation rate is a serious concern, meaning fewer than 1 in 3 students who start here actually finish, which is worth examining honestly before committing. If you're disciplined, have a clear plan, and need to keep costs low, this school can work — but go in with eyes open about the completion challenge.
