Why this score?
Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($79,236), estimated debt ($41,203), early-career salary ($77,607), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny. 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.
Estimated debt appears manageable relative to salary.
Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.
Risks
Completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny.
