Pacific Islands University

At a value score of 28/100, Pacific Islands University is a below-average value relative to its cost. Graduates earn $20,902 — 61% below average — while paying $9,334/year. Consider alternatives with better earnings-to-cost ratios.

The investment pays for itself in just 1.8 years — among the fastest payback periods of any college we track.

A 50% graduation rate is a serious red flag — fewer than 5 in 10 students finish. Those who don't graduate may still carry student debt without the higher-earning credential to show for it.

With a 100% acceptance rate, admission is essentially open — the question isn't whether you'll get in, but whether the investment will pay off.

Bottom line: consider whether the specific program you're interested in at Pacific Islands University has outcomes that justify the cost — the institution-wide numbers suggest caution.
