Overview

Why this score?

Caution Zone is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($144,844), estimated debt ($89,803), early-career salary ($89,326), 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.

Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.

Risks

Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.

Payback could take longer than many families expect.

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
