CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary graduates earn $X” — not “The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary makes you earn $X”

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.
