Trump administration expands list of graduate degrees subject to higher borrowing limits - Annie Nova, CNBC

Many graduate students will be subject to higher federal student loan caps than previously expected, after a court ruling last week. On Monday, the Education Department published the updated and longer list of over 20 professional degrees that will qualify enrolled students to borrow up to $50,000 a year instead of $20,500. Those eligible degrees include registered nursing, physician associates and speech-language pathologists.
