Scroll down to "How much can I borrow?" Hint: It's no where near COA. There's always private loans though.

That's just the limits on Stafford loans. Every citizen who doesn't have a bankruptcy on their record (or similarly terrible financial history) can take out the rest of COA in Grad Plus loans, which are still Federal.

Yeah, I was a bit confused since I thought the above was true. My question was whether being able to take out full COA during an MA program would in any way effect being able to borrow up to COA for a professional degree afterword. But I guess not if Grad Plus can fill in the gap after the lifetime stafford cap.

Thanks for googling that for me too, cgw. Did not even cross my mind :P
