CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Schoolcraft Community College District graduates earn $X” — not “Schoolcraft Community College District makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Schoolcraft Community College District 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.
