We’re diving into a major shake-up from the U.S. Department of Education. Under a new definition of “professional degree” key graduate programs like nursing, social work, counseling, physical therapy, and accounting are being reclassified as mere “graduate” degrees rather than “professional.”  That means starting July 2026, students pursuing those fields will face much tighter federal loan caps — potentially cutting off the financial support many depend on to enter essential professions. We’re sitting down with an education expert to unpack exactly what this reclassification might mean for students, institutions, and communities nationwide.
