What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Biotechnology at Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Biotechnology at the master's credential level. The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program – not the school as a whole. IPEDS reports 17 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings are not published for this program-school combination, which can reflect source reporting or privacy treatment. Compared to the national mean of $109,316 across all institutions offering Biotechnology, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce, the mean median-earnings figure is $28,713, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. Median federal debt is not separately reported for this program at this school. Program-level debt and four-year post-completion earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard field-of-study snapshot retrieved in March 2026.
