CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences graduates earn $X” — not “Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences 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.
