Summary
A major legal twist is shaking up student loan rules for advanced degree students: a court temporarily halted the Department of Education’s new “professional degree” definition, restoring higher loan limits for fields like nursing and therapy. Now 29 programs are eligible again — but with uncertainty looming as the department fights to keep its original rules. Students and schools are caught in the crossfire, worried about sudden loan cuts mid-program, while the department urges caution and suggests schools cap loans to avoid future fallout. This is just one piece of a broader student loan overhaul — and the legal battle’s outcome could reshape everything.
