Overview

Why this score?
Strong Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($82,744), estimated debt ($43,027), early-career salary ($88,312), 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.
