Why this score?
Strong Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($72,940), estimated debt ($45,223), early-career salary ($88,974), 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.
