CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Arkansas State University Three Rivers graduates earn $X” — not “Arkansas State University Three Rivers makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Arkansas State University Three Rivers 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.
