This bill amends section 85-931 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to update the definition of graduate degree programs. The language is revised to replace "shall mean" with "means," streamlining the definition. The bill categorizes graduate degree programs into three main types: first professional degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees. It specifies the fields associated with each degree type, including a detailed list of professional and general academic master's degree programs.

Additionally, the bill introduces new subsections to clarify the types of master's degree programs, both professional and general academic, while also removing some previous designations. The original section 85-931 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing language to reflect these changes. Overall, the bill aims to provide a clearer and more organized framework for understanding graduate degree programs in Nebraska.
