About University of Puerto Rico

Tucked into the Bayamón metro, this campus hums with a practical, get-it-done energy. It's known for applied STEM and business paired with a strong liberal-arts core, where bilingual classrooms and hands-on projects are common. Labs, maker-style studios, a well used library, tutoring, advising, counseling, and a career office round out the essentials. You feel the momentum walking from lab to lawn.

Student life leans active and collaborative, with academic clubs, cultural groups, service projects, intramurals, and plenty of pop-up events.
