The Trump administration’s Department of Education has redefined which majors and professions count as “professional degrees,” removing several longstanding fields—including nursing, architecture, accounting, education, social work, physician assistant, physical therapy, audiology, and public health—from that list.
Key professional categories now mainly include medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, law, veterinary medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, chiropractic, theology, and clinical psychology. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
