CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Arkansas State University-Mountain Home graduates earn $X” — not “Arkansas State University-Mountain Home makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Arkansas State University-Mountain Home caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
