Expands the definition of professional degree to include additional graduate degrees.

The Clarity in Professional Degree Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to expand the definition of "professional degree" programs eligible for federal student aid. This expansion includes degrees in special and secondary education, music education, world languages, public health, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, accounting, and architecture. The bill aims to address concerns that the Department of Education's previous definition changes could negatively impact students with disabilities and exacerbate workforce shortages in critical fields.
