Nursing gains 'professional' label for student loans after judge's ruling, but theology now dropped

A federal judge blocked a portion of a Trump administration rule, enabling graduate students in nursing, physical therapy, and several other fields to access higher student loan limits. This ruling grants these specific programs a professional label, removing previous lower caps on borrowing. While these healthcare-related fields gained eligibility for increased funding, officials confirmed that theology was dropped from this professional designation, limiting the scope of the court's decision regarding loan limit increases.
