CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe graduates earn $X” — not “Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe 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.
