Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($95,628), estimated debt ($59,289), early-career salary ($61,046), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
Strengths
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Risks
Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.
