Health and Medical Administrative Services at Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Cupey Campus

Universidad Ana G. Méndez-Cupey's health administration program sits squarely in the middle of Puerto Rico's limited options for this degree, with first-year earnings of $33,773 placing it at the 60th percentile statewide. That's actually slightly above the island's median of $33,264, though it trails the national figure by over $10,000. For families considering this program, the relevant comparison is likely other Puerto Rico schools rather than mainland institutions—and by that measure, this program performs competitively.

The debt picture is reasonable, with graduates borrowing $32,572—less than one year's salary and below both the state and national medians for this field. For a campus where 69% of students receive Pell grants, keeping debt in check matters enormously. These graduates enter a manageable repayment scenario rather than the debt burden that plagues many healthcare administration programs elsewhere.

The fundamental question is whether healthcare administration provides adequate earnings potential in Puerto Rico's economy. At just under $34,000 annually, graduates earn enough to service their debt but won't find themselves financially comfortable quickly. Parents should verify that job opportunities exist in San Juan's healthcare sector and understand that this degree provides stable middle-class employment rather than exceptional financial returns.
