CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Washington University of Science and Technology graduates earn $X” — not “Washington University of Science and Technology makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Washington University of Science and Technology 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.
