The U.S. Department of Education has issued its Reimagining and Improving Student Education Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, open for public comment through March 2, 2026. The proposal would classify social work as a graduate degree rather than a professional degree for student loan limits — which could mean lower borrowing caps for future social workers.
