CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

CBT Technology Institute-Main Campus graduates earn $X” — not “CBT Technology Institute-Main Campus makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending CBT Technology Institute-Main Campus 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.
