CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

State College of Beauty Culture Inc graduates earn $X” — not “State College of Beauty Culture Inc makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending State College of Beauty Culture Inc 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.
