Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($105,764), estimated debt ($65,574), early-career salary ($41,169), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that enough directional data exists to compare this option against alternatives. The main caution is that debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
Strengths
Enough directional data exists to compare this option against alternatives.
Risks
Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.
Payback could take longer than many families expect.
Completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny.
