"The Inter American University of Puerto Rico —or Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico (UIPR) in Spanish, and often referred as Inter— is a private university system in Puerto Rico. It was founded in 1912 in San German, Puerto Rico. It is composed of 9 campuses and two specialized schools.
It is the largest private institution on the island and in all of the Caribbean, and in 1944 it became the first institution outside the continental United States to be accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
It has 45 exclusive programs, ranging from Associate Degrees in Medical Emergencies, Photography, Optical Science Technology; Bachelor Degrees in Popular Music, Food Technology, Small Business Administration, Biotechnology, to Master Degrees in Anesthesia, Fine Arts, Electronic Commerce, Criminal Justice, and International Business"

I'm from Puerto Rico, and I can tell you that "La Inter" as we call it here, is not the best university in PR. I can say that the best private university for Engineering and Business Administration is the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, located in San Juan. But just remember, like every other private University, it is very expensive. Last I heard it was about $175 /credit... So maybe you might consider the University of Puerto Rico.. it's $40 per credit, and it's more challenging. A lot of people say that the "Poly" is easy... but I don't know.. I guess you have to see it for yourself.

To be honest with you...people who goes to a private University in Puerto Rico is because their grades and scores are not good enough to get into University of PR. That's the truth. But it is good though!
My advice..if can get in to UPR do it! It has a better reputation when it comes to employers.
