Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($210,280), estimated debt ($130,374), early-career salary ($79,307), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path. 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
Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.
Risks
Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.
