What the data flags at B M Spurr School of Practical Nursing
Short-arc shifts (recent 3-year window), peer outliers, earnings trend breaks, completion drops, enrollment cliffs, and debt-to-earnings warnings — surfaced deterministically from the federal record. Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
