Why this score?

Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($84,268), estimated debt ($43,819), early-career salary ($72,595), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that graduate review signal is limited or modeled. 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

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
