CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“California Institute of Arts & Technology graduates earn $X” — not “California Institute of Arts & Technology makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending California Institute of Arts & Technology 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.
