Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act aims to safeguard students from ineffective higher education programs.

The Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to introduce stricter standards for higher education programs. It mandates that institutions of higher education must ensure their programs meet specific debt-to-earnings criteria to be eligible for federal education assistance funds. Programs that fail to meet these standards will be ineligible for funding. The Act also requires institutions to notify students about the potential risks of enrolling in programs that do not meet these standards.
