Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“San Francisco Conservatory of Music graduates earn $X” — not “San Francisco Conservatory of Music makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending San Francisco Conservatory of Music 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.
