A recent judge's ruling has led to a change in how nursing is classified for student loans. As a result, nursing is now considered a professional program.

This change has implications for student loan limits. However, the ruling also means that some degrees are being removed from the list of professional programs.

Further details on the impact of this change are available from the source, including how it will affect students in specific programs. The full effects of the ruling are being implemented by the department in accordance with the judge's order.
