CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Colorado Academy of Veterinary Technology graduates earn $X” — not “Colorado Academy of Veterinary Technology makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Colorado Academy of Veterinary Technology 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.
