What Students Are Saying

It is very demanding, professors are usually available to help as well as graduate students. There are help centers in many departments.
Laura from Puerto Rico
Honestly, here you'll receive a great education. Everything that you will learn here, will help you further professionally and personally. Our grading system is based on a 4.0 scale. You can expect generally 3 or 4 exams per semester, research and creative assignments that will lead you to develop critical thinking and analyzed application of the course material. Also, professors like to engaged their students in hands-on experience and activities to take their students to a greater level of knowledge and comprehension.
From my heart to yours...
Hard to Very Hard
Ezequiel from San Antonio, PR
You have to study hard, so you can get good grades.
Diana from Utuado, PR
The University has a very strong academic program. Most of the classes are high in difficulty. Any student that wants to maintain a GPA of 3.5 or more, has to have a very rigorous study schedule. The professors are a mixture of local professors and foreign professors. You will encounter professors with a very difficult teaching methods and others with a moderate teaching methods, but all of them do the topmost job in teaching the students skills they will need in they're future jobs.
