Program Overview
Northbridge University’s Technical School offers the Diploma en Electricidad con Energía Renovable. The one-year, 33-credit program is taught in Spanish at 11 Puerto Rico locations: Aguadilla, Arecibo, Bayamón, Caguas, Guayama, Los Colobos, Manatí, Mayagüez, Ponce, Yauco, and Escorial. Northbridge’s 2026 catalog and the program page list it as in person, though the program page’s description also says it combines in-person classes with distance learning. Its accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, lists Northbridge University as accredited but on non-compliance probation, which started on June 25, 2026, over its standards on ethics and integrity and on governance.
Curriculum Highlights
Northbridge University says the diploma develops theoretical and practical knowledge related to electrical and solar systems. Highlighted study includes residential and commercial electrical systems, the National Electrical Code and professional regulations, renewable-energy systems, magnetic controls, programmable logic controllers, and industrial safety.
Admission Requirements
Northbridge University requires a completed admission application and enrollment contract. Its general requirements also call for a secondary-school transcript or proof of passing the GED, plus a vaccination certificate for students younger than 21.
Cost & Financial Aid
Northbridge’s 2026 catalog sets tuition for Puerto Rico residents in diploma programs at $3,800 per term, or $3,850 for health and technology programs, for a load of 12 or more credits. Each term also carries a technology and administrative services fee of $405 ($450 for barbering, cosmetology, health and technology programs). The catalog does not say which of these groups this diploma is in, and it gives no program total.
