Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to redefine what qualifies as a 'professional degree' for federal student loan purposes. It removes the reference to federal regulations and instead provides a statutory definition that includes a broad list of specific degrees (pharmacy, dentistry, law, medicine, nursing, business administration, education, and others) plus a catch-all provision allowing the Secretary of Education to designate additional degrees that meet the criteria. The change affects how student loan repayment options and other federal student aid provisions apply to holders of these degrees.
