CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“The College of Health Care Professions-Austin graduates earn $X” — not “The College of Health Care Professions-Austin makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending The College of Health Care Professions-Austin 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.
