Social Media Caption
The Department of Education’s newly proposed definition of “professional degrees” under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) excludes public health degrees such as the MPH and DrPH, as well as several other health professions degrees. This change could restrict access to critical federal loan support, posing significant consequences for students, academic institutions, and the nation’s public health workforce.
