Mayaguez, 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 $21,637 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 | $17,939 |
| $30k–$48k | $17,931 |
| $48k–$75k | $17,929 |
| $75k–$110k | $17,457 |
| Over $110k | $18,466 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $21,637.
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 | $71,756 | $75,612 |
| $30k–$48k | $71,724 | $75,578 |
| $48k–$75k | $71,716 | $75,570 |
| $75k–$110k | $69,828 | $73,580 |
| Over $110k | $73,864 | $77,833 |
49% 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-Mayaguez 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-Mayaguez
57% 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-Mayaguez's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.

Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.
Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.
At University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez: 52 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $18,185 median earnings (Accounting and Related Services.)
Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.

At University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez: 28 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $13,702 median earnings (Fine and Studio Arts.)
Admission usually turns on an audition or portfolio judged by the department, which can outweigh grades and test scores in either direction.
