Published undergraduate tuition $7,050
Finding EDP University of Puerto Rico-Manati charges about 0.2× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $7,050. That is about 0.2× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Puerto Rico median ($8,562), sticker tuition is 18% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 0.6×.
