The reported median is $29,117 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $53,116 as its benchmark; the difference is \-$23,999 per year. Azimuth places the return pillar at the 1st percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $29,117, in the 1st percentile. That is $23,999 below the $53,116 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $194 less than the model expects for similar students, effectively at the expected level. That places the gap at the 54th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $7,318. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $7,512. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $7,681. Estimated earnings scenarios at University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla stretch from $27,223 on the downside to $65,681 on the upside. Both figures are estimates from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates. Management Information Systems and Services posts the highest program median at $35,212 four years after completion, from 23 degrees awarded a year. Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians is next at $34,657, with 17 degrees awarded. The largest program with published earnings, Marketing, records median earnings of $27,076. An estimated 40.5% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot. **Median earnings · four years after completion** $29,117 **Rank for difference from expectations** 54th percentile Four-year median earnings against two benchmarks **University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla reported median** $29,117 **Peer schools comparable schools · $23,999 above University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla** $53,116 **Model expectation what similar students would be expected to earn · $194 above University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla** $29,311 School and program earnings use pooled 2017–18 and 2018–19 completion cohorts, measured in 2022 and 2023 and expressed in 2024 dollars.

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls [value added](/methodology/#value-added). University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla graduates’ reported earnings are $194 below that expectation, the 54th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls. The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla caused a student to earn.
