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, including MPHs, DrPHs, and several other health professions degrees. This change could restrict access to federal loan support and undermine efforts to prepare the public health workforce our communities rely on. 

ASPPH members can mobilize their institutions and delegations for a bigger impact by contacting both your Senators and Representatives.

Please contact Congress and urge them to act to include public health degrees in the definition of “professional degrees.”
