Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($137,012), estimated debt ($84,947), early-career salary ($32,935), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that enough directional data exists to compare this option against alternatives. The main caution is that total cost may be high relative to expected early-career salary. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
Strengths
Enough directional data exists to compare this option against alternatives.
Risks
Total cost may be high relative to expected early-career salary.
Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.
