SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“West Coast University-Los Angeles graduates earn $X” — not “West Coast University-Los Angeles makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending West Coast University-Los Angeles 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.
