Arecibo, PR
Figures on this page come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data. This school has not been individually reviewed, so there is no ranking, aid-policy, or GPA guidance below.
What it may cost by family income
Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $17,710 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $10,332 |
| $30k–$48k | $11,033 |
| $48k–$75k | $12,065 |
| $75k–$110k | $12,960 |
| Over $110k | — |
Sticker cost of attendance: $17,710.
What the whole degree costs
Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.
| Household income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $41,328 | $43,549 |
| $30k–$48k | $44,132 | $46,503 |
| $48k–$75k | $48,260 | $50,853 |
| $75k–$110k | $51,840 | $54,626 |
| Over $110k | — | — |
52% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.
First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask University of Puerto Rico-Arecibo how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at University of Puerto Rico-Arecibo
59% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.
To find the real figure for your major, check University of Puerto Rico-Arecibo's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
