Information Science/Studies at Colegio Universitario de San Juan

Drawing on outcomes from similar information science programs nationally, this bachelor's degree appears positioned to deliver a reasonable return despite limited graduate data. Peer programs typically produce first-year earnings around $58,651, which would yield a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43 based on the estimated $25,000 in student debt—meaning graduates could expect to owe less than half their annual salary.

For a Puerto Rico institution serving a predominantly Pell-eligible student body (78%), these projected numbers suggest competitive post-graduation prospects. Information science credentials have grown in demand as organizations increasingly need professionals who can manage data systems and digital resources. The national benchmark places this program squarely at the median, neither exceptional nor concerning compared to the 302 schools offering similar degrees nationwide.

The reality is that we're working with estimates here because this program's actual graduate cohort was too small for the Department of Education to publish specific outcomes. That means there's inherent uncertainty about whether Colegio Universitario de San Juan's specific program will match national patterns. What the estimates do indicate is that information science generally produces manageable debt loads relative to earning potential—but parents should investigate why graduate numbers remain small and what that might signal about program maturity or job placement support.
