Degreeli reads this school through school + degree value, not prestige alone. Start with the Value Score, then expand each program to see cost, salary, payback, and risk.
Overview
William & Mary has at least one program with standout ROI and a graduation rate of 89%, which lowers the odds that upside disappears in practice.
The main watchout is dispersion. Results span from $819,531 to $2,328,046, so program choice matters more than brand alone.

Why this score?
Excellent Value is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($76,384), estimated debt ($39,720), early-career salary ($104,515), 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.
Strengths
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Estimated debt appears manageable relative to salary.
Earnings outlook is strong for a first-decade career path.
Risks
Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
