CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Central College of Cosmetology graduates earn $X” — not “Central College of Cosmetology makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Central College of Cosmetology 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.
