CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“University of Hartford graduates earn $X” — not “University of Hartford makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending University of Hartford 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.
