ANOMALY ENGINE · NOTABLE SIGNALS
What the data flags at Research College of Nursing

Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

How earnings spread, 4 to 10 years after entry
Treasury tax-record earnings for federally aided students who first enrolled at this institution. Each point is a horizon from the most-recent vintage. Single median per horizon (no p25/p75 publishing).

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