CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Bryant & Stratton College-Buffalo graduates earn $X” — not “Bryant & Stratton College-Buffalo makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Bryant & Stratton College-Buffalo 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.
