Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
NUC University decreased from 2 to 1 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 PR 4-year peers in this comparison, NUC University is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 28% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 30,794 enrolled students, NUC University is the 103rd largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,482 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras (0.71/1k); University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (0.00/1k); Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Gurabo Campus (0.00/1k); Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Cupey Campus (0.00/1k); Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce (0.00/1k); Universidad Ana G. Mendez-Carolina Campus (0.00/1k); Universidad del Sagrado Corazon (0.20/1k); Universidad Politecnica de Puerto Rico (0.00/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (University of Iowa is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at NUC University fell from 2 to 1 (-50%). The increase shows up in Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (1 to 0) and Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at NUC University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Robbery.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Incest and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where NUC University sits on price and outcomes
At $8,920, NUC University's reported average net price is cheaper than 64% among 107 Puerto Rico colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $7,404.
- $8,920
- average net price
- $7,404
- Puerto Rico median
- 2.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,416
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $8,696 for families reporting under $30,000 against $15,112 above $110,000, a difference of $6,416. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $8,920 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $24,259, roughly 2.7 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
