CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Arizona Academy of Beauty graduates earn $X” — not “Arizona Academy of Beauty makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Arizona Academy of Beauty 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.
