Published undergraduate tuition $1,600
Finding Instituto Tecnologico de Puerto Rico-Recinto de Manati charges about 0.3× the national public median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $1,600. That is about 0.3× the national public median ($5,512). Versus the Puerto Rico median ($8,562), sticker tuition is about 0.2×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 0.1×.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
