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 the model 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.
