SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Cabarrus College of Health Sciences graduates earn $X” — not “Cabarrus College of Health Sciences makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Cabarrus College of Health Sciences 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.
