CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Seton Hall University graduates earn $X” — not “Seton Hall University makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Seton Hall University 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.
