Why this score?

Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($83,792), estimated debt ($51,951), early-career salary ($94,409), 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.

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
