Why this score?
Strong Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($100,388), estimated debt ($52,202), early-career salary ($117,083), 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.
The Degreeli Value Score is directional, not a guarantee of salary, employment, or personal financial outcome.

Bottom Line
High upside
Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods 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 $484,879 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.
