How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Albizu University-San Juan serves a student body defined by financial need and first-generation college-going — 68.8% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants and 25.1% are first-generation students, reflecting the institution's deep roots in Puerto Rico's working-class and historically underserved communities. Transfer enrollment accounts for 26.3% of the student body, suggesting that many students arrive after beginning their academic journeys elsewhere. Azimuth ranks Albizu University-San Juan #415 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. For students who enroll, the path through graduation is the central challenge. The six-year graduation rate is 67.0%, and 46.2% of Pell-eligible students complete within that window — figures that reflect both the determination of the students Albizu serves and the structural headwinds many face. Median earnings for low-income graduates reach $28,600 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 4.7 percentile for low-income graduate median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Albizu University-San Juan #1202 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Given the institution's concentration in psychology and behavioral health, many graduates enter local-labor fields — counseling, social work, and clinical practice — where earnings are moderate but community need is high, and where graduate-level credentials often determine long-term earning potential.
