🚨 Urgent Action Needed: Protect Public Health Professional Degrees

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 poses significant consequences for our students, our institutions, and the nation’s public health workforce. This change could restrict access to critical federal loan support and undermine efforts to prepare the public health workforce our communities rely on.

Now is the moment to take coordinated, proactive action.
