Degreeli reads this school through school + degree value, not prestige alone. Start with the Value Score, then expand each program to see cost, salary, payback, and risk.
Overview
Niagara University has at least one program with standout ROI and a graduation rate of 75%, which lowers the odds that upside disappears in practice.
The main watchout is dispersion. Results span from $664,441 to $1,406,516, so program choice matters more than brand alone.

Why this score?
Strong Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($68,992), estimated debt ($42,775), early-career salary ($76,311), 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.
