    US House members scrutinize ‘big, beautiful’ law’s loan limits for nursing degrees

    U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon faced criticism during a House hearing over new federal student loan limits for graduate and professional programs, including nursing and teaching. The changes, stemming from a Republican tax and spending bill, impose annual and aggregate borrowing caps, with 'professional' fields like medicine receiving higher limits. Lawmakers argued the policy makes higher education less accessible for non-professional degree programs.
