CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Mount Saint Mary College graduates earn $X” — not “Mount Saint Mary College makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Mount Saint Mary College 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.
