Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($44,556), estimated debt ($23,169), early-career salary ($39,132), 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.
Strengths
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Risks
