The [net price illusion](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/) is worth keeping in mind: the published cost of attendance rarely reflects what students actually pay, and the income-band net prices above offer a more grounded starting point for planning. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $5,500.

Families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $10,000; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the [Parent PLUS risk framework](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $60,661, median federal debt of $5,500 projects to a monthly payment of about $62 under standard ten-year repayment.

The degree portfolio at Albizu University-San Juan is anchored in Psychology, which shapes both the earnings profile and the career pathways available to graduates. Psychology, General combines the largest cohort scale with the strongest earnings, making it the program that contributes most to the institution's aggregate return.

The Psychology, General program graduates 69 students annually, while The Communication Disorders Sciences and Services program graduates 35 students — together these programs account for the bulk of Albizu University-San Juan's degree output. Because the program mix is concentrated in a single family, individual outcomes depend heavily on subfield specialization and the specific career track a graduate pursues after completing the degree.

Albizu University-San Juan's program portfolio is concentrated in Psychology, reflecting the institution's identity as a specialized private nonprofit university in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Across 2 programs, the curriculum centers on psychology and behavioral science fields rather than the broad liberal-arts or STEM-heavy mix found at larger research universities.

Psychology, General is the largest program with 69 graduates, followed by Communication Disorders Sciences and Services with 35 graduates — together accounting for the majority of the institution's degree output. The concentration in psychology-related fields means that outcomes at Albizu University-San Juan are shaped heavily by a single discipline's labor-market dynamics.

Psychology is broadly a grad-school-dependent pathway: a meaningful share of graduates continue to master's or doctoral programs, which means four-year earnings figures undercount the lifetime trajectory for students who pursue advanced credentials. For students entering the workforce directly after a bachelor's degree, psychology-adjacent roles in social services, community health, and human resources represent the most common early-career destinations — fields where the [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) tends to favor candidates with clinical or applied training.

Because the program mix is narrow rather than diversified, prospective students should weigh whether their academic and career goals align closely with Psychology and related behavioral-science fields. Students committed to psychology — particularly those planning graduate study in clinical, counseling, or school psychology — will find a focused curriculum built around that trajectory.

Students exploring broader career options may want to compare program breadth at institutions with more diversified degree portfolios. ```
