CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Auburn University at Montgomery graduates earn $X” — not “Auburn University at Montgomery makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Auburn University at Montgomery 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.
