CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Saint Elizabeth School of Nursing graduates earn $X” — not “Saint Elizabeth School of Nursing makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Saint Elizabeth School of Nursing 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.
