Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($32,244), estimated debt ($16,767), early-career salary ($32,287), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny. 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.

Career AI Exposure
Moderate Exposure (50/100)
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.
