What happened?
AOTA reports that occupational therapy’s CIP code was included on an interim Department of Education list of professional-degree programs for new federal graduate loan limits.
Under the interim designation, eligible MSOT and OTD students may borrow up to $50,000 per year and $200,000 in total. AOTA emphasizes that the designation is preliminary and may change as litigation proceeds.
Why this matters
- The interim limits may affect how future OT students plan and finance their education.
- Programs and students should follow official Department of Education updates because the designation is not yet permanent.
- This development is part of a broader discussion about access to professional health education.
