Long Island University

Overview

High upside

Long Island University looks strongest as a selective value play, with its best program landing at $1,648,143 in completion-adjusted ROI.

Families should compare the strongest path against weaker options, especially if recoup times stretch well beyond 25.7 years.

Why this score?

Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($132,248), estimated debt ($81,994), early-career salary ($117,787), 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.

Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.

Risks

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
