Psychology at Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus

The small sample size here demands caution, but the pattern is clear: this program generates some of the lowest psychology earnings in the country while carrying relatively modest debt. At $17,709 in the first year, graduates earn less than half the national median for psychology majors and fall below even Puerto Rico's already-low median of $19,063. Within the territory, this program sits at the 40th percentile—middle of the pack locally, but drastically behind comparable institutions like the Pontifical Catholic campuses, where graduates earn $26,000+.

The debt picture offers the only reassurance. At $10,516, students borrow roughly half what psychology majors take on elsewhere, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 that's manageable by absolute standards, even if the underlying earnings are concerning. The 31% earnings growth to year four suggests some recovery, though $23,116 still leaves graduates significantly behind peers. For a school serving 83% Pell-eligible students, keeping debt low matters enormously.

The reality: if your child is committed to studying psychology in Puerto Rico, this program won't bury them in debt, but they should expect years of financial constraint after graduation. The top-performing Puerto Rican programs demonstrate substantially better outcomes are possible, even within the same territory.
