MPH in the list of “non professional degrees”
I am reading the most recent WH release “2026 National Drug Control Strategy” for work and notice many of the administrations priorities focus on public health domains (evidence based treatment, public health data collection, etc) to combat the drug crisis.
My question is if Public Health is such a a need why did the administration categorize it under the non professional degrees? I do understand the economical logic behind the decision: loan amounts capped, universities will be forced to bring down their costs) but is that the only reason?!
I’m in public health and have been wanting to get my MPH degree for awhile and this decision deterred me big time because I don’t want to get into debt but reading this release, I realize it is a need and a priority!
Trying to converse about this with someone who may have some knowledge to what this administration is doing lol
