CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach graduates earn $X” — not “Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach 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.
