Program Analysis
University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez's Computer Engineering graduates start at $83,545/yr — above the $78,694 national average, though not by a wide margin.
Every dollar of in-state tuition returns an estimated 40.2x in decade earnings — an exceptional ratio that places this among the highest-ROI Computer Engineering programs nationally.
Some AI exposure exists in Computer Engineering's typical career paths, with 71% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 25% gap from the optimistic case.
Loan repayment is a non-issue here — $10,300 in median debt clears quickly against $83,545 in annual earnings.
At #20 of 174 nationally, this is a top-5% Computer Engineering program. Financial outcomes consistently outperform the vast majority of peers.
Five-year earnings of $95,065 are relatively flat compared to the $83,545 starting salary — typical of fields with stable but capped salary bands.
