Why this score?
Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($101,168), estimated debt ($62,724), early-career salary ($76,523), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that payback could take longer than many families expect. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.

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