CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma graduates earn $X” — not “University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma 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.
