Overview

Worth comparing

Southeastern University looks strongest as a selective value play, with its best program landing at $653,701 in completion-adjusted ROI.

Families should compare the strongest path against weaker options, especially if recoup times stretch well beyond 28 years.

Why this score?

High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($127,768), estimated debt ($79,216), early-career salary ($64,899), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. 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

Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.

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.
