Data snapshot Updated

Azimuth ranks Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus #133 among 1,467 nonprofit four-year institutions.

Who it’s a good fit for

Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus is a private nonprofit university in Gurabo, Puerto Rico, where Business and Health Professions account for the largest shares of degrees. Most graduates are estimated to go into jobs rather than on to further study.

Graduates out-earn what predicts for students like them. The model attributes more of that to a remainder it does not explain than to the factors it measures — field of study, enrollment and the local labor market.

Students who arrive with Pell Grants finish at a rate above the entering cohort as a whole. Access is among the highest we track, and affordability is among the highest we track.

Return is below the levels seen at many peers, and the largest programs are not the best-paid ones. A student drawn to Biology or Criminal Justice should go in knowing that the engineering programs, though smaller, show higher earnings.

Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus career outcomes & earnings[3][8][9]

Earnings scenarios range from $27,516 on the downside to $56,816 on the upside, with $33,439 as the typical scenario. These are estimates from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.

The highest-earning programs sit well above the institutional median. Computer Engineering graduates earn $67,342 four years after completion, from 8 degrees awarded a year. Electrical Engineering follows at $61,366, with 42 degrees awarded.

Graduates of Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus earn about $8,137 more than the model expects for similar students. The gap sits at the 79th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The median earnings figure, four years after completion, is $33,439 for the 3,146 federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled. That is $34,811 below the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Earnings scenarios, estimated from the program mix, put the typical figure at $33,439, with a downside of $27,516 and an upside of $56,816. An estimated 28.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.

Graduates of Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus earn about $8,137 more than the model expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 79th percentile, meaning the earnings advantage over the model's prediction is stronger than at most institutions.

Borrowers who finish leave with a median of $13,448 in federal student loans, $10,751 below the $24,199 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $153 a month if repaid over ten years.

Parents who borrow hold a separate median of $5,000 in Parent PLUS loans. Earnings exceed the model's prediction and debt runs well below the peer median.

That points to a return picture where the cost of borrowing is relatively light.

What are the largest majors at Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus?[12]

The earnings spread across the largest programs at Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus is wide, and the highest-earning fields are not the ones awarding the most degrees. Biology is the largest program, with 108 degrees awarded and median earnings of $34,830 four years after completion.

The largest programs tell a different story. Business Administration and Management follows with 99 degrees and earnings of $36,686.

The highest-earning program is Computer Engineering, where graduates earn $67,342, though it awarded only 8 degrees.

Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus awards degrees across 15 ranked programs, with earnings data available for 21. The largest program family is Business, accounting for 17.4% of bachelor's degrees, followed by Health Professions at 11.0% and Biological Sciences at 9.2%.

The largest programs with published earnings are Biology with 108 degrees awarded, Business Administration and Management with 99, and Criminal Justice with 79. The highest-ranked program is Engineering-Related Fields, which awards 24 degrees a year and ranks #1 in Puerto Rico within its field.

Its graduates earn a median of $56,768 four years after completion. Design and Applied Arts also stands out, ranking #122 nationally and #1 in Puerto Rico, with 55 degrees awarded and median earnings of $22,763.

The highest-earning program is Computer Engineering, where graduates earn a median of $67,342, though it is a small program at 8 degrees awarded. Electrical Engineering combines scale with strong earnings: 42 degrees awarded and a median of $61,366, ranking #194 nationally and #2 in Puerto Rico within its field.

The pattern is one of strength concentrated in a few technical and design fields, while the largest programs by degrees awarded sit in the sciences and business. 21.2% of degrees awarded are in STEM fields, and four-year earnings for fields where graduate study is common may understate later trajectories.

Data scope & methodology

Structured payloads generated Governed hub narrative Governed spoke corpus

Four-year earnings describe cohorts of completers. Figures for other horizons describe different cohorts and are not joined into a career-growth projection.

Azimuth's overall rank and pillar percentiles come from the school profile. Absolute pillar ranks, city, enrollment and official-site links are shown only when structured data supplies them.

Detailed earnings, cost, admissions and program values come from the endpoint responsible for each measure. Missing values are not replaced with zero. Value-added estimates are model associations, not causal effects.

Figures are refreshed with each data release, at most a quarter apart. The underlying source dates can be earlier than the release.

Explanatory text is AI-assisted drafting checked against those figures; it is not an additional data source.

  7. Parent PLUS debt, payments and GPS illustration. Stored payments use Financial GPS loan and repayment assumptions. The adjustable spectrum applies the published framework to annual student payments divided by earnings minus an expense allowance; its initial allowance is 150% of the federal poverty guideline for one person, for the year the API serves. It is an illustration rather than a school rating. The parent table is the 10-year payment on the median Parent PLUS as a share of household income above 200% of the guideline for a household of three: under 6% Safe, 6–10% Caution, over 10% High pressure. Parent PLUS uses the completer median where available, otherwise the all-borrower median; these describe different borrowing populations.
