Strengths and risks

- Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.
- Payback could take longer than many families expect.
Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($197,720), estimated debt ($122,586), early-career salary ($40,097), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that completion/outcome signal supports the value case. The main caution is that total cost may be high relative to expected early-career salary. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
The Degreeli Value Score is directional, not a guarantee of salary, employment, or personal financial outcome.

Bottom Line
Worth comparing
Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management looks viable, but not automatic. It still produces positive ROI after completion adjustment, which means the upside survives a more realistic enrollment path.
The main thing to watch is slippage between ideal and risk-adjusted outcomes. Degreeli estimates that completion risk trims about $254,019 off the on-time case here.

Career AI Exposure
Moderate Exposure (52/100)
This path looks mixed: some tasks are AI-sensitive while human context still matters.
AI Exposure is a second lens beside ROI. It should inform comparison, not replace judgment.
