Screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave on X.com. The tweet says that the Trump administration has excluded nursing, physical therapy, and public health from being classified as “professional” degrees under new student-loan rules. These programs will now be considered “graduate,” with loan limits capped at $20,500 instead of $50,000. Below the text are two images: a portrait of Donald Trump and the seal of the U.S. Department of Education.
