SUNY Oneonta

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

High upside

SUNY Oneonta looks strongest as a selective value play, with its best program landing at $1,187,611 in completion-adjusted ROI.

Families should compare the strongest path against weaker options, especially if recoup times stretch well beyond 15.3 years.

Why this score?

Fair Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($76,632), estimated debt ($39,849), early-career salary ($70,300), 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.

Estimated debt appears manageable relative to salary.

Completion/outcome signal supports the value case.

Risks

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
