CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Aveda Institute Montana graduates earn $X” — not “Aveda Institute Montana makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Aveda Institute Montana 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.
